What are the chances of the rockers taking a hit from rocks if the sliders are on there?
Is the protection you speak of more of general protection, Knicks, dings, etc....

The body will roll and make contact with the rails especially with the standard sliders. The angled ones only the pinch seam will hit the slider legs. So e's with the angle ones it's more or less to help with cosmetic dings but can still help with rocks that may poke out higher than the slider

Is there any way you could reference the height of the step to the pinch seem?
Or maybe to bottom of door when door is open and above step. The distance between door and top of step would be easy to measure.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

What!!!! See if this helps, cant get measurements until tomorrow. I used the skins under the rails to hide some rash. Way cheaper then body work. These are the low angle step sliders with the powder coated skins.

Thanks for pics.[emoji106] and nice color choice....
I'm torn, I like both the EVO sliders and CC rocker steps.
The distance between the bottom of door and top of step is the only fixed dimensions, that I can think of, that would be similar on all Jeeps.
Here are mine I have an 1-5/8" at the front door. The bigger the gap the lower the step.

alright I have to ask, how much of a whore is it to do the nutserts? not going to lie, but I am a little chicken shit to drill the holes and do the nutserts...
I have spots on both sides of the rig there the Shitty Built steps I had on there hit the pinch seam... knocked the paint right off... have since replaced them with the 10a Rubi Rails until I decide which direction I want to go as far as sliders... but I want to do skins for some added protection...

No. The top of the step. Where you would put your foot to get into jeep. See post #10. I measured mine from bottom of door to top of step.

I don't have EVO skins but I have the poison spider ones. I measured about 100 times before I marked the location with a center punch. The first hole is the hardest but after that the other 25 are a lot easier...haha. Just go slow so the bit doesn't walk on you. I would have used my unibit but it was a weird size like 15/32 or something. I used the cheap tool they sent with my skins and rails. It took so figuring out but it worked. If I had to do it again I'd borrow or buy a real nutsert tool. Others have posted some links to ones they used. I'm sure some will chime in with the tools they used. Hopefully this helps.

Nutserts are not the problem, its drilling the hole carefully so the bit dont take out more of the flimsy ass metal then you want to. Get the astro tool and use the serts that come with it to practice on. You will get a feel for crimping them correctly. To tight and the center will go left or right. To loose and itll spin.

Awesome, Evil. Thank you.
Looks like I will be going with the EVO side steps. And probably Alum Skins.:yup:
