Default ACE rock sliders?

Anyone have experience with the ACE sliders?

They are priced right, how do they work?

Just ordered mine. Everything I have read has been good, and you can't beat the warranty. Another big plus, you can use Rubi sliders along with them.

I love mine, Ace makes great products and they stand behind them 100%. I haven't tested them too much on big rocks, but they've held up to what I have done. Like Blade said, they're great cause you can use them with the Rubi Rails, and it gives them a nice complete look.
Depending on you/whoever's height, they also double as a nice side step.

The one downside to these is you'll lose some ground clearance, but not a significant amount.
Overall I recommend them, great product for a great price, made in the USA, and Ace back their work if you have a problem at all.

I have a set and they are heavy duty and well made. I thought they would work for a step for my wife but she does not like them and says they get in her way getting in and out. They are mud/slush collectors and I think that is what she does not actually like. I would sell mine but no way to ship them as they weigh a lot.

I've banged and skid across some big ass rocks and squeezed/slid across tree trunks galore. No issues at all besides touching up with some paint. Trust me, I've used n abused em....

There's a load of info about Ace sliders on here, do a little searching. For the money, they're great, easy install.
