This ^^^!!! Since I don't have under armor (yet!!!), my ACE rails have saved me for the same reason... several times!!! Dropped the whole weight of my jeep prolly 12" down onto a rock one time... holy crap it took a beating. No damage!!!!

These are the JCR rail/ step combo. They're beef, have hi-lift points, and integrated LED rock lights. Check them out on YouTube, you'll see they're abused and keep going.

If not having a step isn't an issue and you want strongest/best looking I say PSC frame-mounted rocker knockers all damn day. If looks aren't a priority EVO weld on frame mounted. I wouldn't use the PSC brawler rockers or anything similar due to the multiple people and jeeps I've seen online and in person with body damage due to coming down hard on them on the trails. Anything fastened to the body I would shy away from if you're really wheeling it. My rocker knockers have taken the full weight of my JKU repeatedly and don't even dent. The powdercoat just scuffs or scrapes. No structural damage. VKS fab has some nice ones too.

Another Vote for LOD you can bolt or weld them on. They do add some weight to your Jeep the ones for my 2 Door were like 101 Lbs shipped.

Looking at the 2 pictures I didn't realize I had that much travel.....lol

I have JCR classic sliders. I like them, especially since the mount to the body mounts AND the pinch seam. Unlike the ACE sliders, these will not flex. I've seen ACE sliders flex so much on rocks as to damage the pinch seam.

If I had to do it over again, I'd go with the JCR sliders that have the boat sides and rock lights that Karl has.

I highlighted your opinion. There is absolutely no proof behind your claim that PSC makes the strongest and best looking rock sliders.

Personally I think my VKS (EVO looking ones) are the best looking and strongest

As you pointed out in your first sentence. It was merely his opinion. Opinion is not fact. Therefore no proof is required.
