Poison spyder richochet rockers

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

I've been searching for rockers for a long while and finally decided that the richochet rockers by poison spyder were a perfect fit. Part of my discision was a big need for a step, without losing ground clearance. At first glance the fit and finish are second to none. I opted for the gloss black (felt that painting them would be a waist and look really bad with scratches in them. Below you will see pics of the install and a time frame. Word of caution for those with a b/l. You will need to notch or cut your 3 spacers in half if you are using the daystar type. If you are using teraflex...they are already 2 pieces.

Note:The instructions do not address a body lift!!!

Take it away frenchili!!!!

Remember to clean the rockers and teh panels for the sticky tape or your favorite gooy stuff.

Once the body mounts are loosened (do each side seperately for all steps), jack up the body (not the frame) as far to the outside as possible. If your rig is too tall for the jack, safely use a 4x4 inbetween. Of course the goal is to seperate frame from body and removing the mounts (Well we had to for the body lift but check instructions if u don't have one).

Xtra: For body lifts, you will have to either cut or etch out the sides about 3/16 for the rocker to slide in.

Once the rocker is slid in, position the rocker appropriately, drill one of the holes preferably at one end (always start with a pilot hole) and put the bolt through to hold the rocker...you still have to level it but it makes it easier having a screw partly holding it. Then drill another hole at the other end and put a bolt through...put teh washers and the nuts tightly...all you have to do now is drill the rest and not worry about supporting the rocker:

After drilling all the holes, putting washers and nuts on tightly, lower the vehicle gently...double check the fit then tighten all the mounts to specs.

Repeat for other side.

Really....that's it!
