Default Rock sliders to mount/work with stock rubi rails?

Basically I want to keep my stock rubi rails as many forum members regard of them to do their job well. However, I also want to add little more of a side protection, hence be able to mount rock sliders over the rubi rails. I understand most of the rock sliders require you to remove stock rails, however, there are one or two types of sliders that work in unison with rubi rails.
I swear I saw this info on the forum before, but can't find it anymore .

ACE makes some, but only saw them on here on another forum members rig, wanted some more pice of them, but havent seem them yet. So far as I know they are the only ones that make these. If you do decide to check out some without the rails, Schrockworks make some that look awesome!

Yep, I think that is the one. Thanks.

Yeah Ive seen plenty of the weld on ones, not sure if I like the ACE ones that go over the originall Rubi rails, their pics don't really give you a clear view, one pic I like them and the next I don't

Agree, ACE did not do good job representing these sliders in the pictures.

I reviewed all of their pictures once more, just like you said one picture I like them and another one I don't. I think the reason is that on some pictures they have it without Rubi stock rails and on some with. Those pictures that have both rubi rails and sliders, not sure if I like it. I wonder if they are different sliders too? Also, wondering if those rails mount below rubi rails, how much of a ground clearance they steel?
