They are similar to jcrs except jcr has rectangular tubing on the inside portion instead of round.

I wouldn't. It looks like they only attach to the uniframe rail. A decent set of sliders should have another mounting point, like the underside pinch seam, or nutserts in the rocker, like this:

The tube those use also look more like the large diameter thin wall stuff they use on nerf bars. Will they help protect the rockers? Yeah, but a few good dings and you'd be replacing them.

That said, it's hard to tell by the pics, seeing them in person will be the tell-all. But my initial response is I would keep looking.

If you have a welder, the skill/time you can get some 3 x 6 or so rectangular stock, and build your own, with good tie in for roughly $200.00. For the extra hundred bucks you'll have a very strong slider.

depends what gauge the tubing is. looks kinda thin to me.
but all you need to do is weld on a 1x1 piece of angle across the mounts so you can tek screw/bolt it to the pinch seam.

Look homemade and or weak, notice the random brace on the one at the bottom but not on the other? Raises questions. Rigidco makes a great slider for a reasonable price and shipping should be reasonably cheap from Utah to Colorado.
