How long ago did you order? FYI, my skids took about 9 weeks, my sliders came on the first group buy within 2 weeks I think, but that's because they already had them in stock
I took advantage of 2 shrockworks group buys.
I can't attest to the skid plate durability yet, but the thickness and craftsmanship is excellent. I did bounce off a rock with the sliders and you can't even tell I hit them.

oops, i misread your post, my bad. From the instructions, they don't share holes. i would say install sliders first, then the skids, but if I run into anything that makes me say to reverse that i'll let you know monday.

I am coating mine with an all in one clear first, to see how many cans I need. In the future, if need be, i'm going to use Steel-it. Corrosion isn't as huge a concern here in CA, we don't salt, but if you drive somewhere that might salt would be best to coat them with something. or spray off...
