Overview
The Poison Spyder Rocker Knockers, bare steel, part number 15-08-050, are body-mounted rocker guards cut from high strength 3/16 inch plate steel. They fit the 2004 to 2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ, including the Unlimited and Unlimited Rubicon.
The guards are manufactured to follow the rocker panel lines, with very little loss of ground clearance. They bolt to the body in key areas and interface with strengthened sections of the tub, such as the body mounts and strengthening ribs. Because they mount to the body, the guard stays in line when a body lift is installed. These guards are CNC laser cut and brake-formed, so each one is made to a set shape. All mounting hardware is included with detailed installation instructions. Rubber rocker liners are sold separately to protect the paint and reduce vibration. The mounting plate follows the body contours, so the guard sits close to the body rather than standing off from it. Check the fit before drilling.
Key features
- High strength 3/16 inch plate steel, CNC laser-cut
- Brake-formed to a precise fit
- Bolt holes countersunk for the stainless flat-head hardware
- Flat surface for sliding over obstacles
- Mounts to the body with no resulting gap or misalignment
Body lifts and rocker guards
A body-mounted guard moves with the body, which is why it is often chosen for Jeeps that run a body lift. A guard that attaches to the tub stays in line with the body lines, while a frame-mounted piece can drift out of position once the body sits higher. Think about the lift height and the body mounts before choosing a guard, and check whether the lift changes the clearance at the rear flare.
Mounting a guard to the body means the body sheet metal carries part of the load. Look over the tub seams and the body mount area before drilling, and keep wiring, fuel lines and brake lines clear of the drill path. Once the guard is on, check the bolt pattern after the first few trail runs and tighten anything that has backed off.
