I work for a company that designs and builds Nightvision binoculars and several other products closely related. We have the tools to make some of these sliders but I'm curious as to what material they are made of. We use a hard plastic called Delrin . I wonder if that would work?

Also I noticed that genright makes a slider. Any reviews on these? I just can't justify another $400 on sliders just to fix a problem that I don't feel I am responsible for. Design flaw?

I think the king ones work fine, just noisy. I know king makes an extended one like this too now. Can't remember where i saw them but they are cheaper than agr.
edit: GenRight has the king version. they are $50 each though so would still be out $200.

Mine look this way exactly and have been working really well for over a year on all kinds of trails. Once I adjusted the two silver rings properly mine quieted down. Before I did that it sounded like a haywagon going over the bumps on the Rubicon the first time I used them.

Intuitively we all know our capabilities, but don't always listen to the little voice in our heads that knows. Been there, done that many times, but it's the only way I learn. When the instructions are limited, vague or say "don't try this at home", yellow lights start flashing. Best of luck whether you do it, or put the boxes in the back of your JK and head down to your favorite shop.:thumb:

Yeah, I had a "all things mechanic" brother to help me with some stuff. Low and behold, I counted 18 monkeys and 9 footballs. 
By the end, we were swearing, the monkeys were smoking cigarettes, and the footballs were in the corner crying :cheesy: Turns out, all his mechanical expertise is centered around turbine engines, as he builds helicopters (private and military). So unless I want a Turbine Engine in my JK (which I'm considering with their 1940 shaft horsepower!!!!!) :crazyeyes: I now know I can do a fair amount of modifications, but driveline work and what not is gonna be at a shop :grayno:

- there is NO preload on the coil-over - add some and that will allow your KING slider to work as designed and thus reducing the noise you are getting
- your timing rings (2 silver rings on the shock body) are not set correctly. these need to be set approx. 1/2" above your slider at ride height

Drew, thanks for chiming in brother. I'll do so.
Haha yeah, the abs line was moved. Didn't notice it when we were putting the coilover in.
Thanks a ton guys!
I currently have it at a low ride height (still waiting on my rear setup) and the issue is that the sliders are about 2-3" away from the slider.

well then they will continue to make the noise and have extra bow in them.
