This is my first time being able to really study Blaine's design on the Savvy sliders. Something that I have never noticed and am really enjoying is how the aluminum rocker sits higher at the bottom corner of the body than one might expect.
The underside has a bend on the outboard side of the torque box that brings the corner up to the height of the tub lip.
Which means that the outer steel slider angles up. This means that despite the double layer of materials, the Savvy design has a bit more clearance than the more common 90° bend most other sliders have.
