Default who has rocker knockers?

About to order some rocker knockers I think. Not getting the frame mounted due to having a 1 inch body lift on...heard it will leave a gap. So what do you guys think of them?

Want my honest opinion..... ?

They suck. Period.

Okay.... not just these, but any and all body mounted nerf bars bring the suck on with the JK.

Why do you suppose they made a frame mount version? My guess would be customer complaints due to the armor causing it's own damage (again... these aren't standing in a lonely field).

But.... I think the ones you are looking at are very pretty. If I had a pavement princess, this would be a top contender.

Agreed^^ If they will ever be used like they are designed to, the impact will just be transferred to the body anyways. Go frame mounted or don't do it at all

I'll be ordering the frame mounted set. I seen a dude on YouTube talking about his body mounted pair. He got hit by an SuV on the side of his Jeep. It flipped his Jeep onto it's side in the middle of the road. The only damage to his Jeep was a small dent right in the center of his two doors just above the rocker protection from the top of the hood of the SUV. Of course the side the Jeep flipped on had some damage but that was sorta from the Jeep itself.

Who knows what you can really believe on the interwebs anyway though. ><


Here's a link that hopefully will work of it. I don't know if it'll be a clicky because I'm sending this from my cell phone..
