Are you going to flare it towards the back end?? Something like these all pro sliders, that would be something I could install on my ranger!!

Nicely done. Are you sleaving the bolt holes in the frame or doing a backplate? Because the frame is pretty thin on these.

I didn't sleeve my sliders on my Explorer and the bolts just started pulling in the inside of the frame, and the frame is thicker on it.

What kind of steel tubing are you using?Is it DOM?
DOM is going to help with denting if your "really"using these, but I would say 99% are fine with out DOM. Your frame is going to have issues before the tube probably.

IMO these sliders need to conform better/closer to the rockers; as is, they protrude too much sideways, and WILL unnecessarily contact rocks - the chief purpose of sliders is to protect the rockers, not to go out to meet the rocks or be used as sidesteps. A shorter distance from the frame rail will also make the slider stronger and stiffer as a unit.

Bend them up and in, as below:

My pics were mock up only and not final assembled. But yes I agree to a tight fitting slider.

Will dimpled step plates be an option?
I can definitely make it an option. I like that look plus it gives you some traction. Would you like 2” holes centered every 6-8” or so? Or a bunch of 3/4” holes kind of staggered? Try and find me a pic of what you are thinking. Thank you.
