I have the HD-SKO sliders from stubbs welding like others on here. Love em and they even saved me from a couple trees because they stick out pretty far. Also gets you props from your girlfriend because they double as steps.
this is what I need as the wife and kids will use these to climb in. Waiting on my check to arrive and then ordering a bunch of stuff!

Not TrailGear. I've seen two sets (mine and another), and the finish on both was not spectacular at all. They're supposed to be pre-notched, but the notching in both cases looked like it'd been done by an untrained monkey. I didn't like the finish on my "ready to install" axle armor from TG either.
I'd look to AddictedOffroad or 4xInnovations for inexpensive but functional sliders.
Trail Gear is a weld-together and weld-on slider. If you're not comfortable cleaning up a notched tube (you have to cut the legs to fit anyway), you probably aren't looking for a weld-on slider anyway. As for finish, they come in bare oiled steel and their welds look better than mine :lol: The finish is whatever can of spray paint or bedliner you care to throw at them.
