RCI sliders are not full length

Unfortunately most manufacturers don't have full/complete coverage. I assumed they were trying to keep shipping costs down for consumers, but sounds like it's because customers don't want to have to modify body panels or flares to get full coverage to fit.

Your concerns are a reality, if you do enough rock crawling on enough trails eventually you will end up ramming a rock up between the fronts, I've done it 3+ times now. Funny you posted a video of Holcomb Creek, the gatekeeper is one of the places I've caught a rock in the front gaps.

The rears for most sliders are also shittily designed too, it's possible to slide laterally on obstacles and trees/rocks and completely bypass the slider and crush in the bedside in the gap.

Having the rear of the slider "unsupported" isn't a big deal, I thought it might be when I first installed mine but I have never shock loaded the rear and when sliding on them, if there is any deflection they always spring back into place. There used to be a manufacturer that made an extra leg that came off at an angle near the leafspring perch, but I can't remember who they are, or if they stopped using that design.

 

I feel this thread is creating a big issue out of no known issue. It’s like we are all fuckin concerned about slider length all of a sudden.

My new question: what if you want to fit 37”s. What then? No problem with RCI!

Oh man I wish, I'm back in school for another couple months yet. No money AND no time, lol

 

Too bad Truckbrigade doesn't ship to Canada at all

 

Does anyone have any photos of sliders that are longer? Do any exist that cover from tire to tire?

 

Naw never. Not on the internet.

 

Exactly......they seems all about the same to me.

 

Too bad nobody else did or I would have chosen differently.

 

That's because they are 15% shorter than they aught to be...

 

I ran these on my FZJ80 and this is what I was expecting
