GOAT Slider removal for SC to work on

[OpalescentIceytea]

Has anyone ever removed their GOAT sliders before taking your truck to the SC, and if so did you use the bolts the sliders came with or did you have to install the TP55 bolts?

I've inquired with my SC before about having sliders installed and they require to have them removed due to their lift being blocked.

I have GOAT sliders on my R1T and at my service the service advisor just used a jack puck to see if it would work at check-in. It did and the service was completed with the sliders installed.

Have not tempted fate and yet I chose GOAT partially because many reports say no issues with service. I don't know the details but I would try to take it in and see if they refuse. Depends a bit on how critical the service is and how long to reschedule.

There was a very small first batch of R1S sliders that partially blocked one of the lifting pads, but everything since that has left plenty of room, and I've verified with all the designs since that they will work with the pucks Rivian uses since they are huge.

They do the same check with my EVBase boards every time it comes in. They've never asked me to remove them. Had the tech outline the pucks on the truck with sharpie last time. Now they just peek under there and see the circles and I'm good

yes, it's in for service enough it was worth the time savings to outline the pucks.

Thanks for the replies y'all. I'll take a chance leaving the sliders on and see what the SC tells me.

Update: The SC never brought up having an issue with the sliders. They were also overwhelmed with the number of appointments they had during(22 vs their regular 11), although I'm sure if it was an issue they would have called or messaged me.

Goat trimmed (rear most?) bracket to create more clearance for pucks. I too mine to SC near Rivian HQ and they never said a word about the sliders. But to your question, original bolts or Goat’s depends on how much you feel like you need to keep your modification a secret. But since you already volunteered info… it doesn’t matter.

For anyone finding this through forum search I just installed my step sliders from GOAT and can confirm the SC jack pucks fit no problem.
