If y'all are dead set on having the extended sliders I would replace the bolts with some grade 8 ones or something stronger and actually put a tq wrench on them instead of guessing how tight they should be. Doing those things should reduce the chances of the the sliders cracking or breaking the frame in a spill, but with the extended sliders IMHO your taking a big chance trying to protect your plastics
I have a few torque wrenches inch/foot and one for bike spokes, been working on cars and bike all my life....
The standard length ones worked great for me. Over 1/3 of the length was ground off, but they saved the frame. I still haven't replaced them though.
