"just outta curiousity...what do sliders do for a 4x2? how much rocks can they really be around?"

Well, it's not really good practice for 4x2's to play around in Rocks...but, Hey...It's always good to have some kind of Body Protection when Offroading...Remember Sliders aren't only good for Rock Crawling, they protected my Panels from Trees, Rocks that I don't crawl but are on the side of my X, and of course, the Fricken Idiots that slam their doors on your vehicle at Parking Lots...
