I know there is a thread on this already, but I was wondering if people with the low angle could post some better pictures up close from the side, front and back. I am ordering mine on Wednesday. I am still undecided. i really do not need the step, but the low angle version looks like might give a little more protection. I am leaning toward the standard. I am trying to finish up this part of my build, then on to the EVO corner skins.

You answered your own question. "don't need a step and more protection" = high angle.

I appreciate it. I was just on the fence on them. I think I will stay with High Angle.

You're welcome. Despite being Air Force. (I'm retired Navy).

Here's a shot of the high angle. Weld 'em on myself and they haven't fallen off yet.

I was stationed at Keflavik Naval Air Station for 3 years. I was AFSOC combat search and rescue on HH-60 Helicopters.

Used to fly SH-60B's. HH's are pretty sweet, but don't fire torpedos. Hellfires are cool too.

I’ve been on the fence as well... like the idea of more footing for wife & kids... and clearance from rocks.... but the high angle looks so much cleaner... Yup, I still can’t decide...

I was trying to figure out if it does provide better protection by adding more clearance from rocks.

We don’t use them for steps. Wife is 5’ 1” and uses the rock hard cage handle to swing in. Kids manage to get their crocs on the high angles and climb in too. Only “issue” is it’s hard to clean between the body and sliders.
