Re: replacing outer rockers problem

Post some good pocs so we can see.We use Taiwan made panels and have Never had the problems others encounter. The Triplus rockers fit fine. We never had to slice and dice them up to fit. Maybe a little reshaping at times but nothing major. We have done a lot of these through the years not just 4 or 5. They are one of the easiest panels to install. measure the length of them. Maybe there is a problem with your truck. I don't know. I have talked to many fellaws who thought there rotted out rockers were original but they had been replaced. Maybe thats the problem.These trucks have gone through heck and back. measure your door openings. They should be close. Its easy to blame the part first. Not trying to be a jerk but let us see the problem.

We sell the american made rockers too but they are not as complete as the OEM style

Re: replacing outer rockers problem

Always pre fit everything before welding.door should be hung and adjusted,for proper gaps to cab. The older style repos are crap but the triplus are super.Always tack and fit everything before any finish welding.if you replaced the front of the lower door pillar this is probably where things got off.These trucks are not hard to line up the fitment if you start and finish in the right order.need pics to see whats up.
