Ive only seen a few that are "Hi-Lift" approved for use to jack up the rig, shouldnt this be a normal thing that you should be able to do with your sliders though?

if you cant use them to jack your rig chances are they wont protect your rockers from trail obstacles either. being that this is there intended purpose i would say they need to be jack worthy.

Ya saving that pic from naxja! I've seen people bolt them on with 3 arms to the "frame" & 4 bolts per mounting plate, so I think I would rather bolt it on rather than weld cause I plan on reinforcing the unibody rails. yay or nay???
