4dr rocksliders

AhhhCobra · 03-29-2009, 09:20 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a good sturdy pair of rocks sliders for my dads jk 4dr.

The ShockWorks pair looks pretty nice.

Any thoughts?

I have the shrockworks and I like them. They are frame mounted and very stout. I purchased them the same day that I smashed my stock Rubi sliders into the rocks and suffered some body damage as well as a deployed side airbag. The body damage is why I opted for the frame mounted myself.

There is some debate about whether frame mounted are better than body mounted but I think it comes down to personal preference. They both have pros and cons.

When I had my TeraFlex long arms installed there was some interference with where the LA brackets need to weld to the frame and where the Shorckworks sliders mounted up. We (myself and Jay, the guy who works at TeraFlex Plus that installed the lift) opted to cut the sliders to fit around the bracketry and then welded them up.

Red Rock Fab also makes some very nice ones.

I love my Red Rock Fab rock rails but I got them in the step for my wife! Made with 1st class welds and the finish too! plus they bolt to the frame! I welded mine too.

I'm another red rock fab guy. I have the angled up ones, and I also did the bolt & weld deal. These things are awesome. I still use mine as a step, but they are certainly not as step-friendly as a flat 90 angle would be.

i have the poly performance sliders and even though they are the only ones i've owned, they seem like the most functional rails for wheeling. the whole slider is smooth, tapered and mounts to the frame as well as the body. i haven't found a better design on the market...

I did order them directly from thier site. If you choose to go that route, something to consider is the lead time they will have. They build them on when they are ordered. I would suggest giving them a call and check out the lead time to see how long out they would be. When I ordered mine it took almost 13 weeks before I seen them. I hated the wait but I love the sliders.

There is one place that I have heard of that stocks them. Look around and maybe you can find it. Check with N2rock also, he might know the name.
