I usually call the part that goes from the framerail to the actual slider a "standoff". I'm not sure if there is an official term though. I aslo am not sure what you mmean by "inside rail"

thanks for the terms...by inside rail i mean not the spreader, the other one...the one ive been calling the slider, as opposed to the spreader.

WTF are you talking about? I'm assuming rock sliders, but I've never heard of a "standoff." On my ZJ's sliders, there's 2 mounting arms that bolt into the frame rail, a 1"x1" that bolts to the pinch weld, and then the slider itself.

I don't think there are "official" names for the parts, but I use standoff, rail, and outrigger for the frame mounts, inner bar, and outer bar.

Some sliders do not have an outrigger. Some (like Jeep CJ/YJ/TJ sliders) don't have a rail, they put angle right on the edge of the body.

I call the parts....Legs, Slider, Then outrigger, everyone has their own terms for such nonsense, call em whatever you wish in the end...:D
