Default Best bolt on slider options

I'm shopping sliders and would rather keep them bolt on and keep from drilling-at least into the body. I like the look of the non tubular rocker/sliders but not opposed to tubed.

Not a big fan of the ACE as they seem to set lower than a slider should/could be but I'm going off pics and haven't seen them in person.

Any recommendations on a good bolt on option??

Thanks

I don't know if you can bolt on EVOs but they would be an outstanding choice. If not I had LODs and loved em. They took a beating and did great. I removed them several times and just spray painted over the scratches.

I have Aces on mine and they are built for abuse. They are about 2.5 inches below the rubicon rails but not sure that would ever be an issue.

I have ace sliders. Tough as hell. The frame is lower than the sliders.

Best bolt on are lod by far, evo and shrockworks are weld on and probably the strongest out there.

Lets please not turn this thread into another ace vs everybody else thread. We have enough of those already. The pros and cons on the ace sliders can be found through the search function.

How do the Rocker Knockers stack up against the LoD?

Shrockworks makes a decent bolt on slider. I think WOL installed them on MOBY. There's a writeup on project-jk

I have to repaint the bottom of my ACE sliders every weekend due to how much I use them. They have yet to fail me in over a year.

Thanks for all the quick feedback. Was really looking for an alternative to the ACE and the LOD's look good from what I see on the site. PSC Rocker Knockers are not weld ons but do seem to require some drilling into the body. Still have to check out the Shrockworks option.

Again, thanks for the helpful information. Jeep should be here 1st week of January and want to have this lined up.
