I just installed sliders from PP Engineering and thought others might benefit from my experience.
The sliders are top-notch, rock (pun intended) solid and fit perfectly. The rear notched holes help address individual frame idiosyncrasies. The sleeved inserts really snug-up the front and middle attachments. No drilling required.
I primed them with Magnet Paints Chassis Saver (UPC99) and then finished them with their Monstaliner bedliner in black which matches the night armor very well. BTW-Monstaliner will send color chips if you're thinking of using a different color.
The sliders seem to improve the on road handing although it's very subtle. Feels like the X hugs the road a little tighter and doesn't hunt around as much traversing pot holes and rough patches. Center of gravity???
Attached are pics to document the steps.
Sanded the bare steel with 60 grit
After Chassis Saver
After Monstaliner , note the insert sleeves beside the slider
Up close to see texture
Ready to install

Very pleased with the final result.
