I have both the stubby front bumper and the rock rails - total quality products. Adam is a great guy to deal with. On the bumper install I had a question for him and left a message on his cell. He called back (on a Sunday) within 5 minutes. Great quality service. When I ordered the rails, once again I had to contact him about the shipping date. When he called me the first thing he asked was "so, have you destroyed anything with the front bumper yet?". Classic.
American made and great quality. I stand by ACE.

Now you are going to Bundy Hill to test them out on the 25th right?

Anyone know offhand the correct torque for the body mount bolt related to this install? Assuming the technical name is the body isolator mounting bolt, it looks like the torque is 80ft.lbs. (according to the Forum chart). Me being the idiot that I am, I want to make sure I'm not confusing the mounting bolt with the body nuts since the recommended torque is so different.
I'm helping another member (MTG) install these tonight. Thanks!

Thought I'd chime in here...
Thanks to Sharkey for help on the install (in fact, he agreed to help and host)!
Easy install. Product is great! And to echo an above comment...Adam is a great guy to work with. Hard to find that kind of customer service this day and age. He answered all my questions before I purchased, shipped them out the next day, and returned my calls within minutes.
I would highly recommend the ACE rock rails. Now I'm eyeing their front and soon-to-be-released rear bumpers.
I attached a pic so I didn't get the "this thread is useless without...." It was getting dark so the pic is not the best.
Sorry for the hijack.

Just got back from getting my rails.
First of all adam is an amazing guy! Quick to answer everything I asked. Stayed late after they closed to wait for me to get there, had it all laid out for the install.showed me the new fenders that are soon to be released, as well as there bumpers and tire carrier. Amazing products and amazing company! Great prices and great products!
The 2 pictures show the fender clearance, 4 inch rough country lift with 35 mud grapplers. And a whole lot of room.
Other picture is my jeep with new rails
