the best?

Cw50must and I run C4x4F rock rails, and we both beat the tar out of them... sliding off rocks and landing on the rails... there is a part on one trail that for me to get thru I litterally have to smash both sliders and sidd a couple feet to get the tires on the ground again... it's a ~4' waterfall shaped like a V at the top... get the front tires up, and then ram the rig's sliders into the V, skid a ways, and when the tires hook back up continue on. It's quite an impact.
Pitures to help explain the waterfall...

No complaints or issues with the C4x4F's.

i hear the rough country sliders were made for the yj and tj and made for a frame, not the XJ unibody, it ends up flexing the unibody and getting up in the rockers, so IMO the Rough country sliders are a no go.....

there are plenty of threads about sliders on here, make your own so you can do it once an do it right, the way you want them done.
