Slider Mounting

[catastrofe]

I've decided on either RCI or White Knuckle sliders. The RCI mount with U-bolts around the frame, while the White Knucke bolt to/through the frame.

Pros and cons of one mounting method vs the other?

Either one should be fine. IMO the u-bolts are probably a bit stronger. I built mine to bolt to the frame and they are strong enough to lift the vehicle on with limited flex.

I would go with either set.

I think you have it backwards. RCI bolts to the frame while White Knuckle uses U-bolts.

You are correct sir, I typed it bass-ackwards.

I have MetalTechs which are also bolt on and I've balanced the truck on some rocks more than once on them and all I ended up with was a few scratches on the sliders. Didn't flex at all, I dunno if it really makes all that much of a difference. I know most people run bolts ons that do really crazy stuff in Moab and Colorado or CA without issue. I'd just go with what you think looks best and fits the budget.
