Haven't heard anything about these. I know folks that have other N-fab products, and they like them. These appear to be body mounted.
What is your planned use for them? Just more as a step, or really slamming them in the rocks? I know a lot of people that say you have to go frame mounted if you are rock crawling, I also know a lot of guys they wheel pretty hard in the rocks that are running body mounted, and they do fine.

I play on the rocks occasionally, and have frame mounted, but at the same time the factory Rubi rails I had originally (body mounted) took several good hits with no worries.

Not super helpful I know. But maybe someone will chime in that has had a set.

Happy Jeeping!

I'd go frame mounted, install is so much simpler and easier. My ruby rails took some great hits, but in the end did damage to the tub, I have also seen JKs with aftermarket body mounted sliders do tub damage. The frame mounted is significantly stronger and I never get hung up on mine like some people say you will. Check out the VKS sliders, similar to evo but much more affordable.

I welded some of the vks ones on and I have come down pretty hard on them. Highly recomended, especially for the price.

I picked up a set from White-Knuckle Off-Road. They are based in Southern California, and are made to order and frame mounted. Love mine.

They are very similar to Shrock Works, but even stronger.
