Which sliders?
So I am looking to get some sliders from AJ's Offroad but I can't decide between the standard rockrails or the super rockrails. I like how the standards are tucked in and dont stick out a whole lot but I feel like that could be a bad thing as well. I have bushwackers on my xj so hopefully which ever ones I decide on will work. Any opinions or experiences with either of these 2 products would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Never been a fan of the bolt on sliders(or weld) that attach to the frame. The weld in sliders that go in where your rockers are are pretty bulletproof and don't stick out at all. Better clearance also.
But for the two you listed they are fine for what they are.
I like the looks of the single rail, but the second one will offer more protection even though it is more likely to bend.

I've built a set myself that were bolt on, cost me about 200 bucks once it was said and done. I also bought two different sets for my other jeeps that were also bolt on, and doing all the drilling and bolting was a pain in the ***. The next set I'll be doing will be 2x5 to replace the rockers, it will be much cheaper and easier to do.

And clearance wise, maybe a half an inch? IF you're lucky lol.
