    Yes I can... I offer this in response to your question as I do not want to be known as the business that trashes another company in order to promote ( I hope that I always remain above that).

    The Rocky Road slider will run you $400 which is $50 less than what we are asking for ours, the quality of the two is where you will see your getting your monies worth. I personally purchased and installed the Rocky Road on my Commander as my first set of sliders and they are a good product, just not good enough in my opinion.

    This is the Rocky Road slider:



    As you can see they use a 1" square pipe that bolts to your frame and six bolts to your pinch weld, due to the arms being so long they act as a pivot which allows the slider to ride up and just before I removed mine I noticed that I had less than 1/4 inch clearance between the top of the slider and an open door. If you hit rocks hard enough (and I wheel hard) you will bend the Rocky Road up and run the risk of not being able to open your doors.

    As you can see in the following photo (I will replace with a better photo soon), the metal used for our product is 2x4 steel and a 1.5" round tube (round in almost always stronger than square).



    When I removed the Rocky Road slider I found body damage in two places which was actually caused BY the slider, the purpose of a slider is supposed to be to protect the body from damage.

    Our slider also sticks out further from your vehicle in order to prevent the obstacles from causing damage to the side of your vehicle if you get to close.

    I hope that helps and thanks for asking.

    I would say that the quality is no campairison. Not to mention you loose 2 inches of clearance with the Rocky Roads, over stock, and gain clearance with the Steel's. for $50 graduating from sub par to overkill is worth it IMHO

    I was told that our Super Slider was overkill as well, I like to think of it as the last Super Slider you will ever have to buy!

    here's a couple better pictures of the new design.

    you can see they have a recessed spot to get closer to the body where as the first generation used spacers to clear the irregular body shapes. we have also designed new mounting brackets that will have less chance of hanging up on anything and a more contoured design to flow with the body.

    If the rocker is damaged, spray one of the stop rust products on the metal. Typical bedliner does not protect from any rust already started.

    I've been so busy I've had no time to get to this My rocker has developed a little surface rust color I can still wipe it away with my finger LOL but yea I'll hit it with a good primer then the self etching primer then the bed liner or something.

    Wonder whatever happened to Jeremy... Lifted Up, because, I think he lived in Arizona... errr... or was it New Mexico? Either way - Those sliders look fantastic, it would be so awesome to get a WK in your shop so you can start working on some WK dimensions.
