I've looked everywhere for a set for my 88 burb, no one makes a heavy duty rock rail. Smittybilt makes a nerf step but the mounting uses the rear leafsring front bolt. not the best for rock crawling. What I did is I modified the rear mount to go directly to the frame by welding in a extension to the frame and then welding it solid to the frame rail. I also added some more support by welding tabs from the step rail to the body. If you have a welder and a way to bend tubing you can custom build a  set. look at the design of some of the rock sliders they make for jeeps and just modify the design for the burb. Mounting is  going to be to the frame.

thanks for the advise i wish they would make a nice set like they have for jeeps but they dont so i guess just making my own will be the fastest way thanks for the help was hoping some one found a place that finally started to make fullsize stuff for burbs and 2500 crew cab pickups that sorta thing not just jeeps lol everything is made for jeeps makes me go nuts
