Do you have any recommendations on what to get. I'd rather spend a little more and have a better product

Did they fold your pinch seams. I talked to smitty built and they said stock are better than aftermarket. Because it disperses the weight across the pinch seams.

I recomend ones that attach to the frame. I made my own but if I was going to buy them I would get something like the EVO/ACE/etc. weld on sliders. I believe there are some that have brackets to bolt to the frame but I cant think of the name.

No they didnt, they flexed up and scratched/chipped the paint and then flexed back to normal position.

I just went through this. You want sliders that bolts to the frame and are made with DOM tubing.

Here is a list of the one I was interested in.



LOD




Shrockworks



White knock off road



VKS fab.



TJM



Poison spyder



I am sure this others out there that fall into this category. Hope this helps.

I went with the TJM rock sliders. Not only do they protect the body from wheel to wheel but they also cover protect frame. I would described them as mini boat sliders. I thought they offered the most protection.

They come powder coated and have a built in hi-lift jack point that locks in the jack from slipping side to side when lifting. They are also 99% bolt on. The design used existing holes in the frame and only 1 hole had to be drilled. Some of the others require drilling and taping every hole.

Nice, I'm thinking of getting the TJMs also. How much of a step / distance out for the body. And only thing that my wife would like is one that can be use as a step up. If you could please post a picture.
Thanks Chris.
