Wow. I probably won't bang it that hard, but you never know. Good to know that the design is good, though! [emoji106]

I installed my LOD sliders a few weeks ago. So far.....I am NOT impressed with the Powder Coating. I paid the extra $98 for the two stage zinc, hoping for a good long lasting finish. It is not good at all. Little stuff scuffs it up, and it is FAR inferior to any of the other coatings on the other aftermarket stuff. NOT impressed with the finish.

Maybe you should contact LOD. The ones I saw looked great.

Just making sure - were your EVO sliders the normal angle on your Granite Crystal build?

I've got the rock hard 4x4 patriot sliders. Easy install; no welding or drilling. Sticks out far enough for a step and high enough not to compromise clearance.

Correct, I had the regular angle sliders that fit close to the body. The low angle EVO sliders move the top tube out quite a ways from what I have seen.
I know there are a few sliders out there that have a dedicated 'step', like LOD and TNT, but I'm still considering the EVO sliders because they are tough as nails and look great.
For me, it's all going to come down to what works best for the wife (5'3"), and the kids. Right now, the factory sliders are doing well as a step, but not nearly as tough as I would like. Also, I need to consider how high up the 'step' part of the slider is going to move up when it's on 35s.

I don't think I've seen a better looking slider tan EVO

Hey guys are those low angle Evo sliders a custom order? I haven't been able to locate them on the Evo site or any other website.

Yes. If you order them thru off road evolution you can ask in the comment box for the low angle version. They will take longer to get as they are really only made when ordered but worth the wait. I think I waited about 6 weeks for mine to build, powder, and ship from Cali to PA

Avatar pic is from an auto art tour near my home out in Borrego Springs, Ca. A local family has built and installed metal art all over the desert. It's quite amazing what they've planted out there. Everything from a jeep to a giant 300' dragon sand worm creature that the hwy passes through.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
I 100% agree. You know you're getting great quality with EVO and I actually prefer the look over LOD, but just by a little. I do like that you can bolt the LOD sliders on and still have a solid setup because I would be able to install them at home. But I'm not sure that's enough to put them ahead of EVO in my build plans.
I'm in the same boat. Wife is 5'3" too and my girls are all younger than 8yrs. I have the HR factory sliders, so I can move the EVO sliders down the priority list, but ultimately the factory sliders aren't as tough I would like long-term.
