I have just put the PJ rails on and let me tell you they are solid. Look great and make a great step if you have a handle and put your foot on them as you hop in. Best looking on the market IMO, price is high, yes but they are nice and will last. They take a beating also.

I have the Rancho Door Sliders and I really like them. They are expensive, but they are extremely sturdy and will take some serious abuse.

I just ordered the EVO weld on sliders. I have not gotten them yet, shipped Monday, but will post up pics and let everyone know how they are when I get them on.

Just curious I know you can use a high lift jack on frame mounted sliders but not sure about the Pure Jeep body mount sliders. I had Poison spider sliders on my TJ and they were body mounted. I beat the crap out of them on the rocks and used a high lift on them and never saw and problems.

you can use a highlift no problems on the PureJeep.

I've used the tubes all the time for a lifting point. It'll hold. I came down with the full weight of the jeep on the step more than once.

theses rockers are made for abuse

They can fabricated the rails to keep the Rubi rail in place. It makes a very clean looking installation. Otherwise, you may have to take off that rail and expose the pinch seam--it's okay, but it looks tons better the other way. PM TORN, who did this, and ask him for a pic of his rig. Also, TORN added no-slip strips to his Shrockworks rail to keep it from being slippery (it is). The down side is that every time I ride in his Rubi and I step past the rail to step out, I skin up the backside of my leg (when wearing shorts, that is). LOL.

Shrockworks: I never recommend Shrockworks without telling the down side. They will charge your credit card immediately upon receiving your order. It may take them a few months to deliver your product, even if they say two weeks. Be prepared for this, and please don't come back here complaining when it does happen. Screamin' Lizard may be able to provide Shrockworks products faster, but I don't know if they can get the custom fab job for you.
According to Jim at Shrockworks, installing their sliders fabricated to be installed with the stock Rubi rails in place reduces your clearance by about 1.5". You'll also be carrying the additional weight of the stock Rubi rails, which will no longer serve a purpose, except for maybe looks.

X2 for the LOD, my wife likes them a lot because of the step, I like them because they're frame mounted, look awesome and I have proven they're tough on the rocks.
