Default Olympic 271 Reversa slide rails.

Need a rock rail that will allow my wife to get into a 3-1/2" lifted JK. Looked at Ace sliders and they aren't low enough. I see Olympic has a 271 reversa rock slider that can be used with the step down and then when you go serious you can reverse it to offer more rocker protection. Anyone have feedback on these?

Don't know about Ace or Olympic very much but LoD has some pretty good sliders that are wide for side steps... Are you looking for some that will hang lower that the frame rails or right around the pinch weld?

Looking for something a little lower than the Ace slider. The reversa slider from Olympic looks appealing because it is lower when mounted in the down position, but can be reversed it says for trail riding. Just wondered if anyone had these on their JK and good offer up some feedback.

My experience is they are fine until you set the weight of the Jeep on them then they dent your tub.

They bolt to the body mounts so if you put on too much weight they flex onto the body.

I've been looking at those Olympia's as well. I love the look of them, and will not be doing any rock crawling with my Jeep until I can afford replacements for anything that could brake.

For a short person, they do help a lot for getting in as compared to most other Steps.
