Has anyone ever heard of AFN sliders? They state that they’re frame mounted. Since we pretty limited, these might be another option to look at.

UPS notice says my driver side replacement slider from Shrockworks is arriving tomorrow morning - hope it's pushed out a 1/4 inch.
It arrived. Haven't opened it yet. May be able to get it on some evening this week. (had other projects going this weekend)

got the new ones on ... doesn't look any different ... probably going to just bend the pinch weld. But I'll send them a note first. They had asked for measurements, but with all the angles i'm not sure where to measure. I ended up measuring the "inside" side of the bars from frame to slider. Got 7" on front and 6 13/16 (or 3/4) on rear. (forgot to measure old ones there for comparison -- maybe tomorrow). In the meantime, I am getting proficient at installing these things :)

Just received word that my ARB sliders with side rails arrived today. Install is scheduled for 10.22. Will post up pics once complete. For now, here are a few pics of the product.

I’m hoping the side rails give the appearance of a wider stance. It’s too bad the Ranger didn’t come out with the width the Tremor will have, or better yet, the width the Raptor does have. Hopefully I can achieve that wider stance with the benefit of added side protection.

2016 Focus ST maybe Ranger in a couple days.
I hope shrock works has figured out what's going on. I'm about to order a set because I want them here before winter but might not be at the time it takes to make and deliver them. Just don't want clearance issues either.

Wait, how or why is the Tremor wider? I had not read that anywhere.

I read the new wheel flares give it a wider stance, about an inch if I'm not mistaken.
If it does have a wider stance it's just wheel offset. It doesn't have long arms unfortunately.

So is it just a wider wheel? Or a spacer? Or what?

I don't know what the offset is on those ranger raptor wheels it has. The tires themselves are wider than the ones that normally come stock. There's definitely not a spacer.

I would have ordered those too if they didn't have a problem with the jig they make them on on that one side.

I went with Rocky Road instead and I'm 4 days short of a 2 month wait for them to make them without a peep.

What are you going to do though, these are small companies basically making handfulls of parts.

Yeah, the wait for Rocky Road is painful. They don’t have any stock and build to order. My last order with them took about 45 days to ship.

Dropped the Ranger off today for the install.
