Cool Quick and easy rubi rail question

Can you install the JKU rubi rails without removing ACE rock rails? I have the ACE rails installed and now want rubi rails. I'm just wondering if I'll have to remove the ACE rails to get them on.

To anyone who looks for this in the future... you don't actually. You just have to loosen the ACE rails enough to squeeze the rubi rails in. Installed and looking awesome!

Don't the rubi rails use the body mounts? There is no way to install them w/o removing the ACE rails first if this is the case

No the use the pinch seam and 3 points under the area just behind the seam.

I dont see why you couldnt just loosen the ace rails enough to slide them in..

Or take the rear tire off and slide up from the back and in.?

I'm going the same route (see signature) thats why i popped into this thread.

Gotcha, I've never actually seen the rubi rails mounted up, just unmounted. I assumed (we all know what that does) those large tabs were for body bolts. My mistake.
