Hey guys, posted this over in the Trailhunter section as well since i didn't realize there was a rock slider section. I'm looking for a bolt on replacement of the OEM rock sliders that don't require any extra drilling and just use the OEM bolt locations that also have top plates for use as a step. Kick out would also be preferred. Gotta make it easier for the dog to get in and out, and sometimes myself - haha. I like the look of the Westcott sliders with the top plates, but not sure if those use the Trailhunter OEM bolt locations. I also have the long bed model. Thanks in advance.

I know everyone always wants to see examples of what a lift kit looks like compared to stock, so here's a dedicated thread.

This is a Peak 2.25" Trail Kit. You reuse the front struts. There is both a preload spacer (goes under coil on stock spring perch) and a top hat spacer. The rear spring just gets the spacer alone. Rear shocks stay as is. Rides pretty good! Very similar to stock as far as I can tell.

Obviously the tire size is different, but they are only .5" or so tall than factory. Much wider, but just imagine the proportions on stock OR wheels and tires.
