Default LOD rock sliders work WITH stock rubicon rails?

Title says it all... I think it would look super clean with both.

If not, does anyone know of a rail similar to lod or tnt with a step that mounts to frame that would work with rubi rail?

Pics?

Thanks! :-)

I used the rugged ridge rails and tehy rubbed and made a terrible noise. If you find something make sure they do not rub or you will hate it

don't know why you would want the rubi rail + lod's. why not sell the rubi sliders and put the lod's on? They are more than enough protection!

There is no reason to use them both. use the LoD and sell the rubi rails

It's not an over kill thing, I think it would look more "finished".

It's not a must, just curious if anyone has done it.

How much do nice factory rubi rails sell for?

I am running the ACE rock sliders and Rubi rails and I think they look great together.

I've got a set on order for my 2012 Rubi that should be here in a week or so. Looking at the photos on their site and a installation video I ran across somewhere on the internet I'd say no go. All photos show no stock sliders and LoD slider nestles up very close to the body. I may be wrong but it's hard to see how both could occupy the same space available.

I have a set of LOD rails on my jeep. You have to remove the stock rails. Now not saying a good fabracator couldn't redo the mounts and have both. Once again is you just don't need it. LOD is a great product and I have use the heck out of mine. Wife has a nice step to stand on and its a solid rail.

I have seen some rubi rails go for a few hunderd.

I gave mine away to a fellow jeeper who was in the military.
