Rocker Guard Comparison Chart...
Here is a comparison chart I made for many of the popular rocker guard/sliders available for TJ/LJ model Jeeps. If you wish to see more added let me know the products and the company that makes them.
WtoW = Wheel well to wheel well meaning they go under the flares. By default, most stop at the flares. Excel spread sheets To sort and filter the columns, click the double arrows next to each column header. Excel 1997-2004: http://www.experimentalinsanity.com/vehicle/RockerGuards04.xls Excel 2007-2008: http://www.experimentalinsanity.com/vehicle/RockerGuards.xlsx

Great job!!!
 I find these charts useful, I myself am torn between a tub mounted rock slider or a fame mounted slider. I really dig the Poison Spyder customs.

That would be a great thing to add to the chart, tub mounted or frame mounted.
Thanks for the hard work.

I added a column for mounting, but it has no data yet. All that I can tell mount to the body.

Rough Country has some that mount to the frame. They're 1.5" powder coated steel tube with .25" mounting plates. I don't know what the actual thickness of the tube walls are... They're $199.95 on the website now.

id say go for tub mounted, if you go frame mounted, theres always that small space between the tub and frame which could cause leverage to either rip off the sliders or screw up your paint or dent your tub.

I just have a quick question about TUB vs FRAME mounting. It seems like if it is tub mounted it has the potential of bending ur entire tub if u really drop it hard. I have Big Daddy Offroad aluminum rockers and they r tub mounted. If they r mounted to the frame they should be a lot more sturdy. Thicker metal there than the tub.

Having a frame mounted slider underneath the rocker has to deal with a central failure point at the frame. All the force is being put across usually four bolts along with leverage from how far out the slider sticks from the frame. Both are not perfect, but they all help. Added Shrockworks to the spread sheet.
