That is correct paint stays good. It is lower but w a double tube/rail set up you aint never gonna hurt the body.
Howdy mrmo,

That's my thinking, keeping the Rubi rails just adds to the protection. I do NOT plan to abuse this Jeep, I have a hot rod SxS to get crazy with but I do want something more then the Rubi rail and the wife needs a step. I am going to give Ace a call on Monday and see if they anticipate any sales in the near future.

Seems kinda pricey for the thickness of that tube, .134" and 50lbs. Think there's other options out there of the same or larger tubes for same or less money.

Howdy j.o.y.ride,

Thanks for your reply. Folks keep saying there are other sliders that work with the rubi rails but no one has ever posted a link that I have seen, "I" have not been able to find another slider that will work with the Rubi rails. One thing, the price of the Ace sliders includes shipping, I found a slider built by Rock Hard, this one

https://www.rockhard4x4.com/product_p/rh-80104.htm

that doesn't use the Rubi rails but seems like a solid unit but when you figure in the cost of shipping it's only a couple hundred lower then the Ace in price.

Howdy Red Hot Sloth,

Thanks for your reply. I have looked and have not found any other rock sliders that retain the Rubi rails, if you know of any please send a link.

Dave
I think one of the Baracade rails on Extreme terrain works with the rubi rails. Not the same quality as Ace as they are from china.

Ace sliders here as well. 2 winters and some rust showing. No surprise coming from salty roads here. great protection and step. Research the installation . Body mount bolts can be a bitch. I was lucky.
Good luck!
