So, if the Savvy turned Zavvy debacle really means no more Savvy rockers what's second on the list?
Anyone see this?
I ordered CavFab rockers and will report when I get them. The only mod I think I will make is at the rear wheel opening. There is no support to the rockers there.
I emailed CAVFAB asking for a picture of how it attaches at the bottom and did not get a great one but here it is. It seems to me that it only bolts on to the sides of the cab. Might need some modifications to be fully secure.

The mods to CavFab seem to be what any other comparable sliders would require. The main thing I see is the lack of support at the rear ww.
Does the length at the front ww matter, with in reason, if you have aftermarket fabricated fenders?
Is the cost of stiffeners and hardware going to make $250 sliders too expensive?

I just recently got the poison spyder ricochet rockers. I am having to Fab them due to metal cloak fenders (I would not use these again, but they came with the jeep.)

The PS dont quite align to the tub floor in the forward section on my LJ. There is a gap in the front body mount about 3/8" Not a fan of how these were made. and not sure if its a one off or not.
The other issue i'm having is with the body lift pucks. "Body lift pucks sit between the rocker metal of the upper body mount" They dont fit inside the mounting plate cutouts by about 1/8-3/16. I am likely going to trim some flats in the body mounts, but curious if anyone has had this issue or has BL that are wider or narrow than these. I would assume wider would actually be better to hold against the rocker to the tub. I would love to have gotten the rubber gasket for these before installing but they are 90-120 days backordered. (maybe) Has anyone used home made rubber gasket? If so what material is it? I have access to cnc cutters and was on hold for PS for an hour and a half with no answers before giving up. Wish I could just get a cad file.

I personally like ones that get sandwiched inbetween the body mounts instead of just on the tub. A lot of talk on problems like this. Theyre 499 and just had a 10% off sale. Not sure if its still going. CavFab was new to me in the last couple weeks and they are very responsive and looks like quality components.

Not a fan of PS the company or like blaine or jerry say, lazer cut emblem, but ive had them on 3 of my jeeps and taken pretty good hits.
If you like the ones that get sandwiched between the body mounts and the body, then you are not understanding how bolted connections work and why you do not want to disrupt the unified structure between the body and frame. There is no defense to prefer that method of attachment over sliders that are entirely tub mounted and have nothing to do with the body mounts.
Those are both great points. Thanks for bringing that up. I just like that they go further underneath the tub instead of wanrs or i think it was hard rock or someone that they only went 1-2" past corner. Have you seen anything on people reinforcing or upgrading the PS ricochets? Or should i do any underside bolts? From one of Mr blaines previous posts, i was looking at an inner tub plate or big washers or something.
I have the same sliders and did modify them to get them off the body mounts and onto the torque boxes. I also removed a lot of the unnecessary material underneath.Those are both great points.

Here are my mods before I reinstalled. If you want a step by step let me know. I think they dropped 6-8 lbs per side also.Those are both great points. Thanks for bringing that up.
