Rock sliders that use exsiting Rubicon mounting points

I thought those Body Armor step/sliders had an option for a body lift when purchased so there wasn't as big of a gap?
 
Everyone is aware of the GR raised body might mounts, right?;)

I hadn't known about them till I saw them earlier in your build thread. Are you going to completely hide the body lift with those addition to the frame mods?

Sleeper, indeed 🙂

Mostly. Not sure about the front yet.

Here, I enjoy their unintended solution of reducing the gap between the frame step and the raised body.

How will those mounts work on a vehicle with stock body mounts, I wonder.

Do any of the manufactures make a rock slider that installs using the existing mounting points found on the Rubicon. I have no interest in drilling new holes in the body. Because I'm installing a 1.25" body lift many options will not work (leaves an ugly gap). Please keep in mind I do not want to spend $400 on this. I don't want to get into some deep conversation about expensive body armor and it's "value" because I do not buy into that.

I also forgot to mention an integral step/bar is necessary. I actually like the existing Rubicon sliders but I'm lifting my Jeep and my wife is short LOL.


Thanks for your input!

UCF makes sliders that use the factory Rubicon mounting points. It's not much less than $400. There are also a few companies that make lightweight steel sliders that use those mount points flat and diamond plate but I don't remember who. Maybe extreme terrain sells them?

Doesn't have a step, I didn't see that in your post.

I made these for mine. They bolt to the frame. A welding shop or friend with a welder should be able to get it done without costing a fortune. I'm fat and 6 foot tall and they work fine for me and my younger daughters. I haven't went rock crawling with them yet, but I designed them to be functional and I have used them as a jack point. I'm going to add a removable step one of these days after I build that front bumper

If you have fab skills, I documented the build

ROCKHARD has a removable step that hangs on to their body mounted sliders. I bought it for the wife and works well on the passenger side but not on the driver’s side of my 2003 because of wiring running along the inside of the tub
