Rocky Road Ford Ranger Rock Sliders are strongest of the rocker protection world. We use 3/16″ inner hitch steel to make sure your bars do NOT bend! Anything other than hitch steel is just plain flimsy. Most other Ford Ranger Rock Sliders are made from thin 1/8″ wall tube material. Alot of shops refer to these as Nerf bars, an appropriate name since they will offer about as much protection to your vehicle as a Nerf toy product would.
Our Rock Sliders have a very sleek rounded look about them as we use genuine inner hitch steel in their construction. Hitch steel is not only very strong, it also has a nice radius corner instead of a hard boxy look. Inner hitch steel is the stuff you use to plug into 2″ receiver hitches. Its sheer weight is astronomical as is its bending strength. Our shop press goes to 65 tons and we can’t even start to bend them.
FORD RANGER ROCK-SLIDER STEPS – 1993-1997
Why hitch steel? Why not go with a lesser gauge steel to save production costs? Because we wouldn’t trust anything less to protect our 4WD’s and neither should you! We made them indestructible so they’ll last.
Our rock sliders are very simple to install and are completely ‘bolt on’. You’ll find our rock sliders very attractive and will blend in nicely with your stock flares and moldings. Most all will run fender to fender and many folks have commented on their very OEM (factory) look. We tuck them very tight to the body to minimize the possibility of getting hung up. RRO kits tuck up tight! Our rock slider kits offer better clearance than any other kit on the market.
All kits come in a sturdy, durable, and very attractive black powdercoat electrostatic and baked powdercoat finish. Many other rocker “guard” kits we have seen use a very light duty screw and clip mounting system. If you think those screws and small clips are going to protect your truck when it is dropping down onto a rock or stump… think again!
RRO Rockrails have been installed and reviewed always with the highest marks by offroad magazines, websites, chat forums, etc. Our various Rock Slider kits are the strongest, most heavy duty, and most protective bars on the market, with best mounting system, and are guaranteed NEVER to bend.
We pick up these trucks using a forklift with our rock sliders. The kits are mounting to heavily reinforced structural components on the vehicle. It is a more complex and well engineered mounting system and our lifetime guarantee backs that fact up!
Kicker Sliders and Superslider make an excellent step as shown in our photo. They stand off a few inches from the truck to protect not only offroad, but also in parking lots with errant doors!
FORD RANGER ROCK-SLIDER STEP KITS
These rocker bars offer all the strength and warranty of our regular Ford Ranger Rock Sliders, but with the added bonus of an additional upper tube. This upper tube can provide even more protection against sliding into rocks, trees, or other trail hazards. Everyone who has seen these on our shop 4x4s has wanted a pair. They are unequaled in strength and looks.
They also make an excellent step for access to roof racks and such and the Kicker Sliders feature a Diamond Plate rear. Each Super Slider kit mounts identical to the standard Ford Ranger Rock Slider for the vehicle. It also still features that great looking 45° front and rear edge. Not only good for looks, but alot more practical for trail use than our competition’s squared off ends.
The extra slider tube up top offers additional side protection on the trail and off the trail. One of our favorite uses of the Superslider is as a bash guard against other swinging doors in a parking. Imagine the dismay of the chump who just threw open his car door only to whack it on the solid steel of your Superslider. He just stuck a nice dent in the edge of his door, while your vehicle remains undamaged! In a nutshell, if you want the very best, you have found it.
There are some incorrect beliefs out there from well-meaning, but ill-informed Ford owners about the strength of various mounting systems, and we are very happy to discuss this from an engineering standpoint.
SHIPPING EXPECTATIONS
These oversized truck slider kits must ship by semi-truck freight. As such, they must ship to a commercial location with a loading area suitable for semi-truck delivery (which the freight companies determine… not us). If a suitable commercial drop location is not available to you, then we will arrange for the kit to arrive at a freight terminal nearest your location for you to pick up from -- Normal BOL/LTL truck freight shipping on these kits runs $310-440 in the USA.. we do not collect these fees up front, but closer to shipping dates.
ROCK CRUSHER PACKAGE
You can now add our Rock Crusher package, this upgrades the outer tubing to VERY HEAVY DUTY 3/16″ DOM Tube, and an array of additional 3/16″ gussets along that outer tube..
