Sure enough, they arrived today!! Hopefully getting them installed next week. :thumb:
I did also get the custom bend. My wife insisted for herself and the kids (2 and 4 + 1 more due in November...) I'll admit I really like having a step too now that I have 4" of lift and my knees have seen better days.
I'm extremely happy with my evo rails. I thought the ace rails(no offense to anyone who owns any of these) I had were sturdy, but they don't compare. They took a few hits but would flex fairly easily, even when stepping or standing on them. These evo rails don't budge AT ALL and are much better. They have already taken some solid hits and no issues. I had them build mine angled out a bit for a better stepping surface. I think the extra angle actually helps with the protection as well. Gives a bit more clearance between the body and obstacles that hit against the outside edge. They also built them to a custom length to ensure my evo stretch skins were completely protected, which also required custom mounting/welding for the rear post. Can't ask for more. I doubt I could have got that from any of the other big companies. You will be very pleased with them suicideking EVO FTW:rock:
Funny you should mention the Ace -- these will be replacing my Ace + Rubi rails. The main thing that bothers me about the Ace is loss of ground clearance. With the Ace, you will ALWAYS be on your rails. Other than that, I don't have any complaints about them. I like using them as a step. Plus in combination with the Rubi rails, they have done their job for almost a year and a half.
Some pics I took of the Evo rails in both positions (bend and no bend). I'll post pics of mine as soon as they're installed.
