So I want some sliders and I've decided on poison spyder'. But I was woundering what's the difference in-between body mounted & frame mounted ? (Performance wise)
Your frame is made out of thick steel. Your body is made out of thin steel. If you hit hard rocks or drop the weight of the Jeep onto a rock, the frame ones have a much better chance of not causing damage to the Jeep. The body mounted sliders can allow the body to bend or be damaged during a hard hit.

Normally, I would recommend frame mounted sliders but I have personally seen the ones made by Poison Spyder get bent up from and hard hit and to the point where you couldn't open up the doors. While I have also seen their body mounted rockers buckle the body from a hard hit as well, I probably would still go with them over the frame mounted ones. Of course, that's just me.
correct me if im wrong but also something to consider since the body is mounted to the frame with the rubber mounts that flex if you have frame mounted sliders during a hard hit the body could potentially rock into the sliders still causing some damage which is why people tend to also run the skins with the EVO sliders.
