One bad line on a ledge and your $70k+ Raptor Ranger is bleeding sheet metal. These HotMetalFab rock sliders are the armor your truck should have left the factory with bolt-on (mostly), full vehicle weight capable, and built to slide instead of snag. Run them raw, powder coat them, or go full custom with dimple-die plates and that iconic Raptor logo.
Why These Are the Sliders Every Raptor Ranger Owner Ends Up Buying
- Main tube: 2" × 2" × .120 square tubing – 84" of pure strength
- Outer rail: 1.75" × .120 DOM (or HREW) round tubing – smooth sliding, zero hang-ups
- Three-leg design with frame-wrapping front & rear brackets + slanted middle support
- Front leg gusset – takes the hardest hits without flinching
- Full weight-bearing – jack the entire truck off any point on the slider
- Hi-Lift compatible along the entire length
- Raptor logo plate standard (or swap for dimple-die plates – just say the word)
- Two styles: Tapered front (our favorite – less catching) or Parallel front
Bolt-On Install That Doesn’t Suck
- Driver side – uses factory holes (no drill!)
- Passenger side – only two holes + rivet nuts (we include the tool)
- Minor pinch-weld trim at the very front (or request our free spacer)
Most installs done in a couple hours with basic tools.
Weld-It-Yourself Kits Also Available
Want to burn your own beads? Get pre-bent DOM tubing, laser-cut plates (Raptor logo or dimple die), and all hardware. No instructions included – because if you’re welding your own sliders, you probably don’t need them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do they really hold the whole truck?
Yes – multiple rigs have been jacked and parked on them with zero flex. DOM + proper brackets = bombproof.
Tapered or parallel front?
We ship tapered unless you tell us otherwise. Tapered clears rocks better and rarely hangs up.
Can I get dimple-die plates instead of the Raptor logo?
100% yes – just leave an order note or shoot us a message.
Powder coating available?
Yes – add it at checkout or contact us. Shipping coated parts is tricky, so we’ll walk you through it.
Will it clear 37s and long-travel kits?
Designed around stock Raptor suspension height. Most 37" kits clear fine; extreme long-travel may need minor tweaking.
What’s the lead time?
5–7 weeks for fabrication + UPS Ground shipping. Worth the wait – these are built one at a time in Loomis, CA.
Sold as a pair?
Always – driver + passenger included.
