Default Smittybilt XRC or ACE rock slider?

Any and all opinions on both would be great! I'm torn between the the two and would really like to order a set before the whole black friday sales are over....kinda leaning toward ACE at the moment though.

Just my opinion but if you have rubi rails definitly ACE ,if not smittybilt. I just ordered the ACE rails this morning since I have the rubi rails. Im not a fan of the exposed pinch seam but to each his own. Couldnt find a vendor that was offeing any black friday deals though

Yea I've been researching all morning on some kind of deals. I found some for about $289 but the shipping and handling is crazy expensive! I don't have rubi rails but I've been keeping my eye out for them on craigslist...I like however how the XRC's wrap up around the tub

That's funny I am doing the same exact home work. I like the looks of the Smittybilt and I can get them as low as $254 free shipping. I like the Ace for 3 reasons, 1) They can be used as a step, 2) I can keep my Rubi rails, 3) third mounting point will make them stronger. The cheapest I have found on the Ace are $340 and shipping has been anywhere from $65 to $90. If I can get a reasonable price on the Ace I will go with them if not for $150 less I will go with the Smittybilt.

I got my ace for 350 shipped from Northridge a few months ago. Don't know if prices have changed at all but they should give you a killer deal today. Try calling them.

KOR has 20% off all ACE products right now if I'm not mistaken.

Yepp. Just today though. Bought mine earlier along with the rear bumper and tire carrier.
