Default ace sliders and rear pinch seam clearance

looking to install ACE sliders , however I will be trimming my rubi rails and rear pinch seams as I was rubbing on my last trip to Rausch. Can anyone advice if the ACE rails will need to be trimmed as well

I have the ace rails and no they will not need to be trimmed. I have not trimmed my seam yet but the rails are plenty forward.

You are way good on clearance. I need to cut too and will be taking an inch off the stock rubi rails. The ace rails will still be a bit shorter after that.

Whack more than that off if you ever plan to go bigger than 35s. I took 2 inches off the rails and whacked the pinch seam back quite a bit also.

while were talking about the pinch seam, i was just going to post a message to see if i had anything to worry about with a 3" lift on a 2012jk and 285/70/17

i figured my tires are relatively small but i wasn't sure about adding the lift

I was going to start with 35s and maybe do 37s after a regear much later. Thanks for this info.

Hey Ed We actually had a crew of 8, but I saw you guys head out . We stuck to pretty much green trails as most of my crew was bone stock, but even some of the green trail were challenging
