Default Looking for a good rock Rail...

Anyone know of a good set of Rock Rails that mount to anywhere except the frame rails? That area is being used by my long arm suspension.

I’m looking for a set that mount to the pinch seam and body mounts? Any ideas or picks out there?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

poison spyder customs has a set called rocker knockers and they are a great slider and what i am running. as for others there is pj sliders, terra flex, rugged ridge, that should get you started.

Purejeep Formed rockers will be the strongest body mount rocker, It mounts to the bottom of the tube and through the body squeezing it together.

If you know Captainhook, he just installed a set on his 4 door

Purejeep or the Mopar modified rubicon rails are probably your best bet, as they are good and body/pinch mount.

You can also buy a regular set of rubicon rails (no tubes) for cheap - used - then buy some of the weld on tube kits (jeepswag makes some, as well as other vendors).

I think majority of sliders are frame mount... I looked a while for options b/c I prefer body/pinch mount and options are limited.

stay away from Rugged ridge. I have them on my jeep granted they did help me out a few times saving my jeep from some major damage but they rattle like crazy and they squeal everytime you hit a bump. im pulling them off soon getting something that i can weld on or doing the PJ rails they look solid

Thanks guys! You've all been a great help...I think the PureJeep is going to be the winner.
