RSG all the way
Flat with kick-out has been awesome for me. The top plates helps keep "some" of the snow/slush/mud/crap from hitting the doors, but it really helps as a step for kids, wives and reaching or loading stuff on the roof.

I think I’m going Shrockworks angled without plate. I really like the look and I don’t need a step. Open the door and use that as a step ;)
One thing I was wondering is how useful is the kickout for off road purposes? Is it more for off road or for the step utility?

I got mine without and now wish I had gotten it plated just for a little more protection. While off roading last year, my front tire hit a broken branch laying in the dirt causing it to come up, go between the slider arms and hit the bottom of my front passenger door. If a plate was there, there’d probably be no body damage...
Adds character I guess...

IMO, angled looks better. Flat with plates adds more protection from debris and adds more utility with loading stuff on top or cleaning the top. I chose flat and wish it didn't stick out so much, but the protection it provides makes up for the look.

For sure something to be aware of, never considered this scenario!

So I'm decided on RSG, with the plate and kick out.
The last thing to decide is if go with flat or angled. I like more the look of the angled ones, but I was wondering how actually useable is the plate given the angle. Any feedback from owners?

That really made quite a bit of sense to me, especially since family members are either girls or older-aged. Not to mention, it rains a lot here in FL and even I might slip on the things and have that happen. I like the look, but sometimes that has to give way to practicality.
I think I've decided to go with RSG. Angled with the grip top plate and the kickout, DOM metal, powdercoated. All together, they're like $1200 shipped.
Didn't someone mention that there's a coupon for $100 off?

Im in the same boat as you. Pretty sure I want RSG with kickout and plates.
I wanted angled but after someone opened their door into mine and left a crease in the door on my 3 week old 2019, i'm considering flat to get further protection. If they don't have the respect to watch their doors, then **** their doors.
My question to people on here with varying brands, how much do your sliders stick out PAST the widest section of the doors?

Damnit man, sorry. That's gotta be a rough feeling. Can't believe a branch did that much damage

Well, carlodonz, here's my feedback on our excellent angled RSG, kickout, holes down rock rails. I'm 6'2" and the Mrs. is 5'9" and neither of us use it as a step...it would be awkward for us. It can be used somewhat as a step but if you think you will definitely need a step (dogs, small kids, older folks, etc.) better get flat.

Anyone know if you can get the RSG sliders without their logo plate on them?

The logos are riveted on. You can drill out the rivets, remove the logo plates, and touch up the holes with a few dabs of paint. On the other hand, if I spend the better part of $1K on something, it has to be a well-designed quality product on which I usually don't mind the designer taking credit for and/or promoting with a low-key logo. The flat laser-cut steel RSG logo plate on the tread-plate version is pretty darn subtle, especially when ordered powder-coated to match the slider.

I have RSG angled, kick out, with top plate and love them.
Didn’t someone on here twist or break their ankle when their foot slipped down in between a slider without top plate? I thought I remembered reading that.
