I recently just sold my Voyagers for a new set of T44 sliders. Just to add to the thread, some observations.
* Voyagers are much easier to install, but only install on the body, not the frame mounts like the T44.
* Voyagers are lighter, but not by a massive amount. I don't think it is necessarily worth doing just for the weight.
* Pump relocation bracket on the T44 (for the AMK compressor) is a pain, and will increase sound, you hear it.
* If you intend to take a hit, i think T44 are much better designed for it. They protect the wheel areas front and back better along with compressor and tank areas.. all the way to frame rails.
* The T44 dont really touch the side sills, it has a gap, which is a feature.. if you take a hit and you are able to bend them, they wont be bending body panel.
* The T44 have been recently improved to reduce creaking that they had before, you can put foam rubber on also.
* The T44 are now available with the aluminum metalizing coating, which is amazing for rust prevention. I had mine locally powder coated on top of the coating (zincnation.com)
* I like the voyager steps more because they stick out more. But I like the square bar on the T44 more. And since I ordered a T44 rear bumper with swing outs and side steps, i want the side steps to match.
Voyager makes great stuff though.. I still have the low profile full rack and ladder from voyager. The racks are bomb proof. For sliders, If you don't plan on taking too many hits, the voyagers will be fine, but watch out for that compressor, especially the cover, it sticks below the voyagers and will get sheared off!
i also just ordered T44 transfer case and gas tank skids, so ill have more armor than I probably need, but less to worry about.
