I am currently running the Rubi Rock Rails and want to add some steps to them. I am trying to decide between the following. Any suggestions?

 

Consider ACE rock rails. They look awesome with stock Rubi rails. They would work as steps and their price is $340 for 4 door!

 

X2 on the Ace with Rubi Rails. I have the same set up except on a 2 door. The Ace Sliders have saved my jeep a few times. They bolt to the bodymounts and are super strong.

 

ACE rails look really nice and clean! That is until I take them offroad I think I am starting to like this look better than my first options.

 

x2 on the ACE. they are awesome! those poison spyder rails look pretty nice tho...

 

They bolt to the body mounts, not the frame.

 

I just verified that they do mount to the body mounts. Maybe I am thinking of this wrong but to me mouting something on the frame should be alot stronger than a body mount; right?

 

Yeah my bad, they are bolted to the body mounts. However they are still very tough. Here is a vid I found (Not mine)

The install is super easy as well.

 

We have White Knuckle's sliders on our JK - they bolt to the frame, and they are very solid. They use 3/16" thick tubes and 1/4" thick mounting plates and gussets. There is some lead time, as each order is custom fabricated, but my opinion is they are worth it.

 

Frame mounted is way stronger and preferred if you are going to be bashing them off rocks. LOD's like I have a frame mounted (drilling about 8 holes per side) and have a step. Evo sells weld on ones which are suppsosedly some of the strongest ones out there. I just know my LOD's have been abused badly but have held up wthout issue.

As for the Ace rails with Rubi sliders....I've seen what happens if you bounce them hard enough on rocks and it's not pretty. By leaving the rubi rails on, you eliminate/reduce the spacing between the ace slider and body so any flex you get on the ace tends to push into the rubi slider. I've seen real body damage occur when this happened.
