Ace engineering Rock sliders

I have a chance to pick up a set of Ace engineering 2dr rock sliders, they're the ones that bolt to the body mounts.

I'm wondering if anyone has used them and if they're any good currently I just have the OEM plastic ones. I don't wheel hard or over massive rocks as my build is fairly mild, but I'm curious since the price is decent. My concern is that they use the 2 body mounts. Would they bend and damage the body if I came down hard enough on them like the Rubi rails or no? Any input is appreciated! I don't "need" them yet but I feel like they could be better protection vs my current steps ha ha

A lot of people mount them with the Rubi rails only to have them push the Rubi rails into the pinch seem. Not sure what happens without the Rubi rails.
 
I had these on my two door and they did their job for very minor trails with a inexperienced driver ... I didn't get them on my second jeep tho because because I didn't like how low they were ...
 
I have them on my 4dr. They work great as a step, which is what my original intention was for. Way better than plastic steps. But now that I plan to actually grind them offload, I have a new set of EVO sliders in the garage to go on soon. Then I'll sell the Ace and rubi sliders.

I'm not nor will I run them with the rubi rails if I did buy them. To try and avoid that. But good to know

Im not sure what the canadian market is like, but I bought my 4 door rails for $200, I assume the 2 door versions are worth a little less. Either way, if you get them for around 50% of what they were new, you can always resell them and get your money back if you dont like them.
 
I've got a set and like them, but would recommend pairing them with a set of rubi rails for when they do inevitably flex.

That said I've taken a few hard hits it seems lately and have bent a couple of body mount bolts. I replaced with 10.9 bolts the first time, but my passenger side is hanging / floppy again so looks like I bent those again.

I'll likely move to something welded in the near future.

Idk their availability in Canada but I sold my 2dr ace sliders for a 150 bucks with rubicon rails just to move them fast ... I never actually mounted the rubicon sliders and they were just taking up space
