Default Olympic Slider Steps

Has anyone used the Olympic X-treme Double Slider (also called Reversa Bars) or the 2x3 Box Tube / Nerf Bar. Both can shift from a side step to a rock rail. I would like to know how much underside protection they provide. Also, is either compatible with the stock Rubi rails? I have also looked at the High Rock Slider step, but it looks too weak and too low.

Your thoughts?

I'm especially interested if anyone has the 2x3 bars that extend as a step. I saw them on quadratec and it says they bolt to the frame using existing holes - saw a picture online of about 5 beefy men standing on them so it appears as if they're solid. I'm just curious how easy it is to extend/retract them. Not that I'm going to be doing that a lot - but I'd prefer it over having to always unbolt the reversa bars.

the reversa bars suck! Mine are dented in several places and have flexed up and made contact with the body causing dents and paint damage. The powder coating sucks too. i have had to repaint them several times.
