Best Slider to use as a step.........
I would like some feedback as to which slider is best to double as a step! I used the search function, but my question is about which one of my two choices is the best bet. Either the wide-width Man-A-Fre slider or the Expedition one version. Any feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated!

I said other because the trail gear sliders stick out nice and far from the side although they don't have a flat "step".

3rd...the TG has the cross-pieces in just the right spots, just
paint 'em with pickup bed-liner paint and mount up. They work
much better than you'd expect.

I have the All Pro Sliders and use them all the time for access to the roof rack. TG are nice as well, but I wanted to be different.
