Rock sliders

Any one have sliders for their F150? I am enquiring with a guy over on R-F about making some for my truck( he makes them for Rangers ), just wondering if anyone else has them?

haha yeah, zabeard is freaking amazing, the guy can make ANYTHING.. and it turns out freaking awesome.. AND I honestly wasnt thinking he would do it, but he said he would, i just need the measurements, but im in afghanistan, i dont have a tape measure that long lol..

Anyone willing to take some measurements for me? my truck is an 05 SCREW.. if you guys have a NBS screw and are willing to take measurements, i would GREATLY appreciate it!

You dont happen to be a member on R-F are you? And hmmm... trying to think of some questions lol.. Do you think they will look good? lmao..
I am most likely going to get the rocker panels along the whole truck Line-x'd then put the rockers on.. i think it will look and perform great but what do you all think?

I've been looking into this for my 00. It'd be nice to have some off road protection as its my DD but also push them just out far enough to also serve as a step for my 5' gf.haha. I doubt anyone makes them commercial but I know a ton of off road shops who would gladly do it.

Keep us updated on them

Not sure what r-f is so probably not haha. I think they will look better than the step bars everyone has on their rigs. Here's mine. I'm going to make some extensions so I can pin them up against trees for a pivot and not get into the body (again lol). I love having them. I use them as steps and can lay the entire truck on them and don't have to worry. On mine the rockers were rusted out so I cut them totally out and put the sliders in the space that left. It was really nice as it gave me a couple extra inches of clearance under the body with no additional lift.
