Does anybody know if these are any good? I'm not doing any insane rock crawling and mainly need them for steps...with the added protection. Im also hoping to use them as jacking points too. They're at quadratec part #12053.413. Thanks!

They don't seem to mount to the frame??? seem pricey for not being frame mounted/body mounted with rivets. I'm sure they'd hold up but if you aren't doing rock crawling I'd go ace for the price....I personally have EVO's but I wanted frame mounted and truthfully they make it harder to get in than just stock.

I went with the Body Armour extreme rock sliders. Similar apart from side body coverage. Not the easiest install but happy with the results and I think good value for money.

I have them and they are very stout. They bolt through the pinch seam and use the 3 under body mounting points. They used to be frame mounted but the manufacturer changed to a body mount for what seems like a valid reason...when they were frame mounted and the jeep would flex on the trails during articulation or whatever, the body would flex independently of the frame and the frame mounted rail mount would contact the pinch seam and bend it. This caused them to redesign the mounting point to the body. I've seen both and the each have a good reason for doing it a particular way. I can jack the jeep from mine. Of course its not overly beneficial when jacking from the body except to maybe clear an obstacle since you leave the tires on the ground until the shocks are stretched all the way, but for whatever reason they are stout enough.

I've thought about ace too...but I've heard that they mount a little lower and that the pinch seam is still fully visible. Ive also seen the body armor on sale for around $365 with free shipping. Ace is still something to think about though. This is turning out to be a hard decision! Does anyone have any recs for sliders that I might be overlooking? I've pretty much ruled out smittybilt due to all the disappointed posts.

They do look great! I probably won't go for their extreme sliders though...I'm not hardcore enough to warrant the extra expense and the drilling....

It sounds like you're happy with them. Were they hard to install? Have any pics...especially close ups from the side?

It makes a great step...narrower than stock running boards but more functional and will hold up.

Any chance you have a pic from the side u can post up?

Look like they're a great option! Thanks for your help!
