I received my sliders last night.
They are very robust, and I like the way they attach to the frame.
Fabrication and finish look fine.


I don't really care for the appearance...
I think they look too thick and "busy" along with the stock rubi rails.
(I do think this is a very stout combination and should take immense abuse)
I have no doubt they will perform as advertised.
I just like the cleaner look of the Poison Spyder tube sliders (Rocker Knockers?) better.

Didn't loose ground clearance, they are just slightly above the frame rails.

The installation couldn't be easier.
Remove 6 bolts, cut six washers with a 4" grinder, paint ground edge with cold galv, install rails with 6 bolts.
I have a well sorted shop, and it took me less than 20 minutes, start to finish.
I did get a hand holding the rails in place to start the bolts, but you could easily use a jack or some donnage.

Northridge came through again.
Thanks guys!

I love mine too. I've had them for almost a year now and they are great quality and install easily....right over the rubi rails.

I have psc armor and rubi rails. Does anyone have pics of a jku with only armor and the ace sliders? I think my jeep will look funny with all 3 mounted together but not sure.

Not mine, but I was looking to do the same thing, and found this online somewhere:

heh, looks like a rock would have to get through a lot of layers to get to your rocker panel.
