I have Smittybilt Rock Crawler Side Armor and am planning to switch to ACE - IMO the Smittybilt are too close to the body and the amount of flex they have, I think they would allow body damage.
They look good but the lower support bar hangs lower than ACE. I also like the idea of keeping the stock rails to add extra protection to the pinch seam.

Check out poison spider, I was thinking the tube rails, until I seen one help someone get stuck on a rock in the open area. I'm now looking in to step and more of a flat bottom to slide. Videos also help me change my mind. I was thinking 600 was a good price but poison spider has nice ones for 8. but they also have many more for less money.

Check out the Teraflex, lightweight, great clearence, good price. I have been running these for a few years and they have held up to trees and rocks really well, they are body mounted.

Hit up white knuckle off-road on Google...I got mine there and they were under $600 delivered to my house. They are frame mounted and stout as hell...I have some pics in my profile with me and two buddies standing in em...I can also tell you that I clipped a small tree at oak ridge with them...sliders 1 tree 0!

I studied options for a long time and ultimately decided frame-mount was the way to go. I didn't like the ACE and rubi rails together plus I wanted to sell my rubi rails. I went with the LOD sliders and am extremely happy. Especially since the 2 times I've been out crawling rocks in the new JKUR has really put some work to the sliders. I've come down hard on them as well as scraped myself around some serious rocks. A little dented and scraped, but did what they were supposed to do and I have no body damage. Very serious sliders from LOD and they look great with the LOD front/rear bumpers. All ties in very nicely. The extra flat platform on the LOD slider bar is nice for the wife too since she's tiny and still has to climb into the jeep without slipping on a simple bar that most sliders have. Traction on the top is key for her and eventually my kid when he starts climbing in.

I have the Smittybilt SCR rocker guards, they are too close to the body and flex too much. After installing I put a hi-lift jack under one side and the rocker guard contacted the body way before the tires were close to being off the ground. They will not hold the weight of the jeep without body damage.
