Looks like you went in the correct direction with the frame mounted ones. I’ve been looking at these as possible sliders/steps. Was hoping that perhaps they would also help keep some road debris off the Jeep from the front tires as well.
That was my main intention actually, side protection. Remains to be seen how they do.

Roam step/sliders installed! Took quite a while before they finally came out with them.

Those look sweet, nice and grippy, non slip.

Just dropped my JL off at dealer for a steering shimmy over bumps at highway speed (not quite death wobble). They said they have replaced a bunch of dampener and there is another updated part about to be released. They are also doing my track bar recall and said they may not be able to release it back to me until Jeep looks at the pics and makes a decision.
I was in and out for the track bar, no waiting. Good luck.

Just picked it up, they changed the dampener and checked my welds

I got my new stabilizer today. They changed suppliers so the old part number ends in AD and the new one ends in AE. Nothing wrong with the AD and that's what they put in mine.
