Another painful decision to make
Ok so I have been looking at rock sliders for a little while now and I'm having a hard time making another decision as to what hardware to put on my JK.
My Criteria: good protection (bolt to frame & pinch seem), & a usable step.
My Two Choices: Shrockworks or OR-FAB Rocker protector w/ Bar
I know the Shockworks will take much longer and cost about $200 more.
So what to do?

I have the Shrockworks. They take a BEATING everytime I wheel. Have not let me down at all. Been sitting on both sides with the entire truck, dragged them along from front to back, ZERO deflection. Couldn't be happier.

dont know if these are the only choices, but Ive heard the Smittybuilt and LOD make good ones that also bolt to the frame and can be used as a step. Dont have any personal experience with either, so I guess this isnt worth much, but just sharing what I have heard from some others. I do have experience with Or-Fab products and have been happy with them and good customer service too.

I had the shrockworks on the 2 dr, and will be ordering for my new 4 dr as soon as I have the cash to spare. I absolutely loved them and they are tough as hell.

Not sure where you got your pricing info, but both OrFab and Shrockworks seem to be around the same price.
For example - for a 2 door the OrFab is listed $503.99, the 2 door Shrockworks powder coated is $484 or $489, depending on the type of powder coat.
Knowing that, I would still choose OrFab because they make awesome products. I have their front stubby. For my money, I went with PureJeep. Useable step, body mounted, extremely heavy duty and high quality.
