I need to build some rock sliders for my gv.
It has a body lift and i drive a lot of rocks so it needs to be strong.
Im after different ideas for different styles with pros and cons.
Want to try and keep as high as possible. Will have a step as well

Chassis mounted tube sliders
Pros
-Quick easy to build
-Can remove to repair
-Strong
Cons
-Hang down heaps
-Heavy
-welding some brackets on chassis

Cut out sill and weld in rhs
Pros
-improved ground clearence.
-SPEED HOLES!
Cons
-welding suzuki panels
Body strengh effected maybe?
Puts a lot of pressure on body studs. Might need to add more body mounts.

Folded leminating plate welded over sills
Pros
Can make some intresing shapes and include step in to design
Light
Cons
-same as above

What are people's ideas

Biggest con of cutting the sills out and replacing is it will write off the car if defected. Sill

I'm looking into cutting and lifting the still height with panel steel, then chassis mounting sliders underneath. Best of both worlds.
