Ace engineering rock sliders
Anyone have these? What are the pros and cons? I like them because I keep my stock rubicon sliders...they would be going on a 4 door 2014 rubi unlimited...AEEACEJKRS4DR on 4wheelparts

Mine are awesome. Took about 20 minutes to put on. It actually took me longer to get all the tools out than it did to install them. The only thing that takes time is the little grinding you do to the washer. They are rock solid. I attached some pics from the day I put mine on. You can see on the side shot, you're really not loosing any clearance. I could see where someone may have a different perception, but if you get down low and look, they are higher than the lowest point of the frame.

One of the first mods I made..had them 3+ years. I'm very happy with them. Are there beefier? Sure, but for the price unless you're crawling rock piles daily, they're hard to beat IMO.

I have them too. They are great, I use them all the time. I guess visually they look like you are losing ground clearance but it helps keeping you off your frame.

The only negative reviews I have seen were from guys who spend a lot of time crawling, and have dropped the full weight of their JK onto a rock and ended up pushing the sliders up into the body. If that is your intended use, you will be better off with frame mounting than using the stock locations.
The other negative review is people who think running both the rubi rails plus these adds too much weight. (the counter-argument to this one is that people don't care for the look with the ace sliders, but without the rubi rails.)
