I as much as I apricate your honesty, I can't tell if its making my decision easier or harder , have a few weeks still to cancel my order but only a few hours left to catch the 15%.
Sorry, but this will be even worse: because you have to decide what you need.
I needed a step for my wife, that also offers some slider protection.
The MetalCloak sliders do not attach to the body mounts but the pinch bolts. I actually had to drill a couple more.
This distributes the load but does not isolate the sliders from the body. I do not worry about pivoting on a large rock or even small hits. I'm confident anything but a large smashing blow will cause damage to the body.
I'd looked at getting sliders welded on. High and tight as you are thinking, but that did not function as a step. The Rock Slide Engineering steps were what the wife really wanted as they make a better step. ($$$)
For me, the step slider I got fit the bill quite nicely in comparison. Cheaper and I had the ability to go from a step to a tight slider if I wanted to. Yes, it's body mounted. No I'm not worried I'll dent the tub.
Given your recent adventure, I can see why you would lean more toward the welded on to the frame option.
