Do factory Raptor rock sliders / side steps fit the regular 4-door Bronco?

[ahunter2]

Does anyone know if the factory rocksliders/side steps that come on the raptor fit the standard 4 door bronco? Looking to acquire a set if so.

I would be in on this as well for my Wildtrak.

I haven’t checked the part numbers, but I think that the sliders that they are mounted to are going to be Raptor specific.

At the minimum it looks like they have a bunch of extra bolt holes to possibly anchor internal reinforcement plates as well as to accommodate the bolt on side steps.

I was hoping the sliders matched up and we could just bolt those in. Haven’t Seen anything on it yet

have you checked out Archetype Magnums? Not identical but a good looking slider mount alternative option.

The raptor rock-sliders are are different from Base bronco rock-sliders. Watch the video below at the 19:10 min mark when they take off the side steps .. notice the raptor rock-sliders have holes in them for the steps to slide into

The IAG's add a step is the only thing I've found that slides on the existing Non-Raptor Rail. The more I weighed the ease of installation vs the ability of a slide-on option to hold any vehicle weight, I changed direction. I really like the look, but a few pinch screws in a snow (brine) area seemed like a bad idea.

I'm shocked Ford didn't just put the Raptor rails on all units to save another part to develop.

I don't think they do. If wherever your buying them from had free returns than try it!

Since everyone else is speculating I’ll add my thoughts. I bet they fit just fine. The door and body panels in that area that the sliders attach to (and most, if not all, other areas) appear to be the same on all Broncos and this thought is supported by the fact it wouldn’t make sense for Ford to retool those parts at the cost of literally 10’s of millions of dollars for new tools for a fairly small run of Bronco Raptors. This belief is based on a long manufacturing career, of which I spent the last 8 years signing off on tool capital requests for new products and alterations to existing tools.

The only body panels I know to be different are the gills on the front fenders and the hood and those alterations are likely accomplished by second op’s tools of processes.

As an owner of a Wildtrak, I dont even have sliders currently and have the stock tube steps. I would essentially be buying both the slider and the step. I bet it would just bolt right in if I bought both, but that is an expensive bet if I am wrong lol

This was my same thought process. Have to imagine the mounting points are the same for the sliders. It’s just an additional Attachment to them. Really curious if anyone has taken the leap on it

You assume a "fairly small run." I believe Ford intends to run the Raptors at volume capacity, or slightly under to maintain artificial scarcity. It's not like they've only made a handful of F-150 Raptors, which have a lot of unique tooling vs the regular F-150s.

I added the IAG steps (not full length) on mine. I used some neoprene and stainless washers to prevent the pinch screws from biting into my rock rails, and some fiber washers to keep the serrated nut from damaging the powder coat on the steps. The only exposed steel is in the thread holes on the IAG steps. The blue locktite will keep everything together.

ask the folks over at doetsch offroad, they just removed some raptor factory sliders to install the RSE steps

Installed a set of factory Raptor rock sliders / side steps take-offs on my Outerbanks (Non-Sas)

Took less than an hour and fit without modifications.
You'll notice that there is plenty of clearance for the Ford OEM Front Molded Slash Guards and more clearance in the rear.
The steps are a little lower and about 2 1/2 inches wider than the oem tube steps making it easier for us old folks to get in.
