What do you like or don't like?
Thanks

I just installed the bolt on ones, I like how they fit over the Rubi guards and do not mount to the tub. Plenty of people have posted that they use and abuse these and they can take it. You can't beat the price either.

(Have you ever seen a jack lifting a Jeep by the body?... you'd use an axle or the frame for that.)

# Good quality material, welds and finish.

# Bolt on installation, no welding. Welding is unnecessary when there are very good bolt-on rock sliders.

My search led me to conclude that Shrockworks are among the strongest and best made, and worth waiting for.

Good recommendations, but welding is pretty easy. I'd rather weld plate to my frame than drill holes in it as required by some sliders. When the welding is done the frame is stronger and the sliders are more secure.
