LoD has a video where they lift a JK by the sliders... but... looks like you could do the same with ACE.... what do you guys think? if that jk is lifted with ACE sliders could it break or something?

I have the Shrockworks rails and they are great. I got mine from Poison Spider, they used to keep them in stock.
I have LoD bumpers and they are ok. The only thing is the powder coating has a lot to be desired. I live in sunny So Cal and they have some rust issues and have faded quite a bit, I assume to oxidation. On the flip side, my shrockworks rails powder coating have held up great.
That being said, if I had to do it again, I would go EVO.

Actually, the Ace Sliders do mount to the frame.
Watch the install video.
They mount to the body mount mounts...and those mounts are welded to the frame...thus frame mounted.
In no way, shape, or form do they even touch the body.

I want to buy new rock sliders for my 2010 Rubicon 4 drs, I know that there are a lot of threads on this subject already and I have been reading most of them. I came to the following conclusions and need some last minute help to place the order hopefully next Monday :
The rails should be Frame mounting only, without any body attachments
Need some sort of step to help wife getting in the car
Budget is not really an issue since I have been saving for this project
After all the reading I think I will chose beteween these models:
EVO (love them but the they do not offer much of a step, 1 month to receive them)
LOD
Shrockworks (it will take more than 2 months to get them)
Ace
Please let me know your thoughts

I have a set of the LOD sliders and they are nice. I have laid over numerous times on rocks with them and jacked the jeep up using the slider. ACE's are nice especially for the price, I got my LOD Sliders from a member here otherwise I would have probably ended up with ACE rails.
