Thanks

My only concern about the setup you are looking at would be how the sliders attach to the pinch seams on the body. It could possibly cause damage to the body if landing on a rock or surface and causing the sliders to bend toward the jeep. Just something to consider.

The Body Armor are a great set of rock rails / steps. I have been really happy and have had 2-3 big guys stand on them without incident and used them to get over some down tree trunks during the hurricane last year. Slides right over, but yeah, is mostly used as a solid step. HAs a good texture so you don't slip as well.
Mounts the same and looks the same as the Rock Hard, so I would be comfortable with either. I bought the Body Armor b/c at the time, they had a $75 mail in rebate promotion, and it was a great deal.

What's the verdict?
Did you end up going with these rails? I just ordered them and wanted to see how they were holding up.

I didn't get them yet. Still planning to, maybe when the weather (and my bank account) look a little better . Let me know what you think of them when you get them on.

Okay guys I have the rock hard tube sliders. They are awesome. Here's a couple of pics. 3 Bolts to the frame as well as the pinch seam. Way more solid than ace They don't move what so ever or bow into the frame
Good luck with your decision.

Didn't mean to bag on ACE sliders, I have a couple of friends that have them they move unless you weld them on. Rockhard are bolted on but they are rock solid and don't move.....
