I picked up a pair of sliders from LeftLaneTruckin (Martin) and finally completed the install. I had the passenger side slider tapped for extra air capacity. Martin put in an airline that is hooked into the air tank and a quick-connect fitting for connecting an air hose for tools or airing up tire. I will do a test on the capacity at another time. The sliders provide great protection for the door sills. They fit very close to the body of the truck and do not provide a platform for standing. They are fitted with grade 8 hardware and are very stout. For the price, these are unbeatable. :thumb:
Martin sent all the necessary hardware with the sliders already tapped for air. He included the quickconnect, airline and male-male fitting as well.
Here is a pic of me test fitting the slider with a jack

Here is a pic of the air fittings. You can see the three-way fitting, the airline tapped into the slider and the quick-connect fitting. The 3-way fitting goes into the air tank, the slider and the original airline. If the slider starts leaking for any reason, the 3-way valve can be taken off and the original airline hooked back up the airtank. I did not have to cut the original airline and just zip-tied the slack out of the way.
Close-up of the quickconnect fitting near the rear tire. I may fit a cover to keep it from getting dirty. I am thinking of a some rubber hose to fit over the connection. It may be vulnerable, but I will take the risk for now.
Let me know if you have any questions. Martin did a great job and does good work. If you are interested in getting these sliders, you can PM him.
Also, you can see my new Bridgestone Revo2s 265/70 16s. Great tires.
