Just curious what you don't like about them other than the install?

They bolt underneath to the body as well as 7 bolts with crush sleeves to the side body. There is like four layers of metal below the door opening so the crush sleeves have a lot of support.

I agree they are harder than most sliders to install, but with a little bit of patience (not talking to you Jack) you should be able to complete them in less than a day.

I would do it all over again. Not only do you get more clearance than most sliders out there, I personally think they look better too!

Nope. What good would a frame attachement do on a body formed rocker? The framed mounted rockers such shrockworcks etc have to allow a big gap between the rocker and the body so they have room to flex a little. They need that space because there is like 12" of distance betwee the mounting point and the outside rail on the rocker. These are using the strength of the full surface contact area of the body (bottom and side) as well as supporting on the inner multiple layers for metal via the crush sleeves. Any hit would be transferred along the full length of the rocker as well. They are plenty strong!

I've seen and heard of a few Jeeps with these. I know Offroad Evolution has installed some as well. I know Jack was taking install advice from myself and another member while he was putting his on.

And then be prepared to wait. Nothing against Northridge or Dave (he's been great to deal with) but I order mine 3 months ago and still waiting.
