I am trying to decide what i should do. My rockers are minty so i am a little skeptical on cutting them for sliders. Is it that bad of an ide to leave them an puut sliders under themm? also if i cut my rockers, is it a good idea to do mini boat sides.

If you get sliders for under them you can mod them to weld in later. But if you don't want to weld them in now cause there mint, then you arn't going to want to later on because they will still be mint due to the slider under them. But, welded in will give more clearance. -
Most people here run them under the rocker. It works wellI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulpComment

well i am making them from scratch. But is it safe to cut the rockers? and is it legal? I know my dad is going to say i'm crazy but hopefully you guys can give me some positives to change his mindLift: 4.5" RC

you will be fine with cutting them, just make sure you put a few braces from the steel, to the unibody or else it will bend the floorOriginally posted by MdgtRac View PostGod made the world in seven days, on the 7th day, he made the Le Car

My sliders were home made and I didn't cut the rockers. It is legal to cut themI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulpComment

Wait are you just talking about boxing them in?I don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulpComment

Legality is definitely not an issue
they arent structural in the least
in reality all the rocker panel is is a hollow C shaped covering of sheet metal- Will

If you weld it to the body you dont need that brace reallyI don't always drink orange juice, but when I do, I prefer to chew it. #madpulpComment

If your rockers are mint now then give it a few years they'll rust just as mine are starting to, and my shit is always clean.
so I would just go for the "box" rockers but figure out something to tie them into the unirails otherwise you'll have issues down the road.
