If you wheel your Jeep I wouldnt waste that much money on rockers. Cut out your rockers and have your buddy weld in some channels in there instead of the rockers. It will come out cheaper and serve a purpose as sliders. There are threads on this. Look it up , it might be something you would be interested in.

So you get some 2x tube, x4 for a stock look or x6 for more of a rocker look. Plug weld some angle to the unibody channel, to carry the back side of the tube.

Then plu weld some 1x1/8" strap through the sill to the tube. That does two things, it sandwiches the sheetmetal sill to the tube and it provides a nice surface to weld to
