Default Smittybilt SRC Rocker Guards

Does anyone have these or any pictures of these installed on a 2DR? I cant find any pictures other then the "sale photo". I am wondering if they will fit over the stock Rubicon sliders and if it can be used a "step".

I have a set of these in my garage right now waiting for the time to bolt on. Obviously not a 2 door but you'll get the idea when I post the installed pics this weekend. Stay tuned. I would bet you could use them as a step as well. Very sturdy construction.

i think they could possible fit over the rubicon sliders but the problem with the src sliders is they arent that strong and have alot of flex in them.... im about to change mine out and sell them and go to a mounted slider and also they dont really give great side clearance

Yeah, after doing some research, I am thinking I may go with ShrockBars, looks like they will fit over the factory sliders. Atleast the picture on their site shows it.

anyone land on a rock with these or used them as a hi-lift point. I saw them on jason0341's rig and they look really good, like the fit of them alot. Just concerened, heard somone say they flex, if thats the case, and you land on them on a rock or something, kinda would defeat the purpose if it flexes or bend or breaks into the side pannel of the jeep.
