Default Question about ACE Engineering rock sliders...

For anyone who is running these sliders, are they as long as the Rubicon unlimited factory slider?

I like that the Ace can be run with the factory Rubicon slider in place, but I had to trim 2" off the back end of my Rubi slider to make tire clearence. I don't want to have to trim these also. Do you think they will they work without trimming the end?

Also, anyone have pics of these installed? The pics on the ace website are tiny!

I don't have a set, but you can click on the pictures on their site and when you mouse over them it will magnify. They look to be about one or two inches shorter than the rails.

Search "ace rock rails". There's a thread with pics that'll answer your question.

They are a couple inches shorter than the rock rails. Should be perfect with trimmed rails.

Perfect, thanks. That means they'll be 2" shorter in both front and back on mine, should look nicely centered.

I'm not sure if this picture is big enough, but I just installed these this week.

They're the same length as the distance between the front of the front body mount bolt washer to the rear of the the rear body mount bolt washer.
If that makes any sense.
They bolt up using the body mount bolts, so that's how long they are.
I hope this helped more than it confused.
