I would assume that the Rocksliders are similar to the roll cage that I have. Mine has had the plastic bits removed and they stick out a reasonable way, they are the "furthest" out part of the apart from the wing mirrors. They are clear of the door seals

Hi could you put some pics up of your sliders so I can see how far they stick out.

Not rock sliders as such, but we fitted stainless side steps for the same reason, they stick out past all the bodywork and in the event of a side impact, will take the impact instead of the bodywork.
Also works when people open their car door into the Jimny in carparks.

I would be careful of the stainless steel side steps as they are only made of thin tubing and will bend intot he car and possibly cause undue damage.
Speak to darren at KAP as i know he is in the final stages if not finished getting his own bolt on rock sliers into production as I made enquiries before we went to the Lakes in April and that is what he told me then. He wasn't able to get them done before I needed them for the trip so I got a fabricator in my Club to do mine for a very reasonable price.
Mine are weld on now, this allows me to incorporate them in a cage in the future, wheras bolt on ones might not be suitable for that. Darren will sort you out though, albeit possibly at a price.
Bolt on ones are notoriously difficult on a Jimny because of the way the chassis rises at the back.
