I remember seeing yours when I did a search. I liked how you angled your tubing to follow the body. I was thinking of doing that. If I remember right, you welded yours to the frame right? Any regrets doing that? I was thinking it would be nice and strong that way but wondered if I would ever regret doing it.

I am looking for a good (and cheap) set of sliders as well. I like the look of some of the custom jobs on here. I am leaning toward body mounted ones just because I don't want to drill new holes in my frame. However, some of these custom jobs look like they use existing holes. Anyone know of a commercially available set that this body mounted using existing holes. Oh and that are cheap. I like the schrockworks but the price when compared with smittybilt

Default sliders

probably the cheapest sliders you can find are the rubicon ones. I think they're great . strong and very easy to install. I'm sure thats not what you''re looking for as thats probably the most obvious. (pointless quote I'm trying not to be jk nb anymore)

The only downside that I see is that they're not removable or adjustable for a future body lift. Depending on your mounting points at the frame they could also interfere with a future long-arm kit. You could always make other modifications to make it work though. They are definately strong when mounted properly. Good luck.
