Most d2 sliders mount to the sills, its easy, convenient and strong. The arb one's mount to the chassis and they flex and move a lot when stressed off road, due to the large cantilever. If you want a more open discussion on this, start a new thread in the d2 section, or even better do a search :DQuote:

Okay, I started a new thread in D2 regarding the sliders.Quote:
