For drawer system you should definitely check out Goose Gear, they have quite a few options.

Awesome, cant wait to see your new suspension set upRemoved XREAS today, quite a bit easier than I was interpreting from the forums - no fluid leaks, just the couple drops in valve connectors. Kings will be going on tomorrow, all prepped.

Kings are on with a days worth of driving. Initial feedback: obviously quite a bit better than XREAS but I did expect a bit softer of a ride on the street - this is objectionable opinion territory because the ride still feels better even though firmer; more planted.
Now, offroad...I am flabbergasted. My expectations have been exceeded tenfold once I hit the trails and rocks. I could write a short story about how great this thing feels offroad now but I'll refrain - I'm still smiling should sum it up.
Current pic, uneven ground exaggerating the front rake a bit (I do plan to add a couple more threads to collar when I get bumper/skids on):

I think worx work with limited rocker panels if that's what you mean. I don't like the limited rocker panels at all though so prefer to take them off - most limited folks will replace with trail rocker panels. Some also cut them down or run no panels at all...I'm considering not running any except the front cap to cover the fender mount.
Otherwise...all sliders will work on Limited, most require the rockers to be removed or cut.

Glad to see another Limited hittin' the dirt 
Great build thread too. I'm still too stock to do one :banana:
A few questions before I throw money at my situation:
Front Suspension - what was the total estimated lift from stock?
Front Tires - Any rub at all at full lock?
My front is lifted (probably about 2.5", whatever out of the box Icon ET is) but still have minor rub at full lock. It's not the end of the world, but better than getting extra attention when in parking lots :biggrin1:
Once I get confirmation on any rub issues, I'm posting up the math to help anyone else in my situation, haha.
Thanks in advance!

Complicated answers to rubbing, all depends if you run the exact same 295 tire size and spacers like I am - if I ditched my wheel spacers or went 285 I would have rubbed a ton less than I did. I had 2.5 lift up front with spacers and kept 2.5 on kings with 7 threads of preload over stock.
But I love the wheel spacer look on 295s so kept them, and the Limited fender liner has a lot larger footprint than other trims so I had to cut tons off my liner - this will be a non issue with aftermarket bumper.
Also, all of this depends if you run aftermarket UCA - once I installed UCA I was able to get +5deg castor which negates all rubbing on the rear liner/fender & body mount. This puts all the rubbing up front where I cut most of the liner off. I didn't really hold back on my bumper/liner cutting because it's all coming off with Pelfrey anyways.

Thank you!
I'm running 275/65R18 so I think the caster adjustment should be able to solve the minor rubbing. I have adjustable UCAs so alignment won't be an issue... but I'll probably lift the front up another .5" and do the alignment at the same time. I'll just need to do some math on spacers before adding them.
Huge shoutout to RCI Metalworks (@Joshp767), my front skidplate and bare sliders were ready two days after ordering.
Went down to pick them up today and ended up driving off with more skids. Those guys are a pleasure to work with, nice to support a local shop for once.
Time to install RCI Sliders, Front skid, tranny skid, Fuel tank skid and Transfer case skid w/crossmember supports. Can't wait to pair this all up with the Pelfrey bumper - more pics soon!

They had my sliders shipped out just a few days after I ordered as well. How did you get your skids done, bare or painted? I know they sell a skid package that includes some of the more popular ones for a discount and I think fuel is extra. Another thing on my long list still to buy!
Skids are all powder coated, was able to roam their shop and kinda just pick stuff I wanted...had to control myself before I walked out with more.
Sliders are currently baking in my garage with a hundred coats of rustoleum.
