LIquid Iron Slider Boxes
Anyone run them or know of people who do that can give a quick review? I really like them and thinking about ordering a set once my tax return comes in. I've seen a dozen of the same pictures that aren't really current and haven't found many reviews on them. All the ones I've found have been positive though. Just looking for more information.

We use leaf sliders on some of our race cars, but I dont really see the point on a jeep. When you get torsional forces on a leaf it binds up the slider, which is the last thing you want when driving slow and letting the suspension articulate.
If you were doing jeep speed or had a prerunner type setup I could see sliders being relevant.
If you dont already have them just get some shackle relocation boxes and set up a proper shackle angle.

interesting point, I had never considered that. Seems like the sliders fell off the map a bit, I'd be interested in hearing from someone who has had them for a couple years to see if they still like them
I can't imagine them being bad. Anyway I don't have any other input
except the OP should just 4 link it

Sliders on a crawler type build are unnecessary IMO. If youre looking for travel beyond what relocation brackets and longer shackles will give you.... Its time to do a link/ coil conversion like you said.

I'm not, just saying I have looked at them. Running 33s on a 3.5" lift and will probably run long arms and 35s with the same lift one day. Only thing I have now is MJ shackles with worn bushings. I can flex alright. If sliders and relocators flex about the same I'll go with the sliders. Just seeing if anyone on here besides Royal, who I'm messaging now,has personally run them before.

If you like the concept of sliders more than you like a conventional shackle I say just do it. LII is a good company with good folk and good products. I wouldn't question the quality or effectiveness of sliders
Let me dig up this thread, it may answer some of your questions

Im right there with you. I'm going to go slider boxes. Jersey is more higher speed stuff, not like when I lived in PA crawling slowly around the trails. I'll hit PA maybe once a year. Going to try them out and see how it is. My shackle angle blowwwwwwwwwwwwwws right now

My **** is nowhere near ready to go on a rausch trip. I don't trust driving that far either. I need to get trailered out which is why I'm planning on MDW when all my buddies head out. They'll let me jump on a trailer lol

I rented a Uhaul trailer for $55 when I went up last. Dual axle and handled fine. Mine was on stands for 5 months afterwards getting repairs and upgrades done so should be good to go by then
