Cut out your rocker panel and weld in 2x6x3/16 rectangular tube. Brace it to the unibody with some legs made of bent plate. MUCH easier than making them seperate and trying to bolt them on, you'll gain a bit more clearance too. Where's Nitro, he did it to his and it turned out great.

Although the sliders grayguy built look sick. But you gotta trim the bottom of your door.

I would rather trim the bottom of the door than have it caved in by a rock.
