Default Best Rock sliders for Jeeps with a body lift?

Looking at rock sliders for my jeep. I have a 1.25" rough country body lift. What are some good options for a quality set of rock sliders?

Schrockworks has on option when you buy the sliders that will compensate for a body lift. Maybe try them.

or you could always remove the body lift.

My OR-FABS mount on the pinch seam and under the belly so a body lift wouldnt have any effect on it. Plus they are super beefy!

I won't recomend a specific brand here because I'm not sold on the one I have though it seems to work well.

In general, since you have a body lift you might as well benefit from it by purchasing sliders that attach to your body (and body mounts) rather than to the frame. It will look lame with an extra 1"+ of space between the slider and the body plus you will be wasting extra break over angle.

Some brands I am aware of are PureJeep and Genright that offer these kinds of sliders. I'm not sure who else.

Add OR-FAB to that list of body mounted sliders! The stock rubicon sliders take some nice damage and still remain intact!\when wheeling. The OR-FAB sliders mount up just the same except they bolt up along the entire pinch seam and bolt in under the body. A lot more stable than the stock sliders and they are way thicker! Plus they are cheap for just the slider portion! I love mine!
