old cruiser i used to have had them welded to the chassis. Simple and solid but i cut them off leaving jagged points to smack my head on everytime i got under the car.
At first I thought it was a sea anemone, upon closer inspection I realised it was a funky ball of tits from outer space.

Just have a look under any 4bee fitted with ARB steps and copy the large U bolt idea.

SWB Jeeps are popular for having sill protection bolted to the bodywork. It's not dodgy at all, it's strong when designed well and doesn't impeded ground clearance. Warn, ARB plus a whole lot of other US suppliers make this type of sill protection commercially.

Lots of sliders here, mostly welded

Brief instructions:
Your u-bolts need a square U, not a round U, and need to be large enough to wrap around your chassis rail. You need 2 u-bolts per mount. Hook your u-bolts around your chassis so the threads face outwards. Weld the arms of your sliders to some plate, drill four holes into the plate to match the spacing of your u-bolts. Bolt it all up.

Mine are not mounted with u-bolts. Instead there is another plate on the inside of the chassis rail which effectively sandwiches the chassis between that plate and the outer one that the slider arm is welded to. 4 high tensile bolts pull the plates together.
