Give us a call we can hook you up. Have installed them and determined if you actually need them?

Yeah thanks guys I don’t want to bash them I just want to be happy with their products. I was hoping they could come forward and help me out here. I’m already having to pay 1700 at the body shop and out 900 for their sliders and now have to buy another pair. I don’t get into rocks but I’m not mall crawler either so it should have offered the protection it states it would have done …

$2600 lost

Oh man. This is terrible buddy

Makes me feel a bit better about my silly looking stock rubi sliders in combo with ACE's. Lost a little ground clearance but still above frame bump and there's literally no way my sliders could damage the rockers.

LOD's spacers should alleviate it though.. prob a pretty simple fix.

Painful ?

Is the redesign stronger? Also, do the stock rubicon sliders suffer from the same issue?

I have them and they are pretty close to the body. Please PM and let me know what to do. I was thinking of adding washers to the frame bolts.

Stock mounts to the body pinch seam. These mount to the frame and are way stronger but the body and frame move independently so you need to make sure there’s enough clearance. Some of us need to add spacers.

Some of you guys that really wheel should really give rock hard 4x4 sliders a look. They have zero flex. On the JL frame mounted is not the ticket unless like two inches away. Way too much flex on JL. I have the rock hard sliders and now have hit some very hard trails - way harder than when I had the lod’s. Zero flex and mounts to 3 different areas. Mounts to body mounts , pinch seam and the underbody area where the bolts from stock sliders bolted.

Yes, they have zero flex like other body mounted sliders, but I have seen too many pictures of thin JL sheet metal failing to hold up. For me frame mounted sliders are the way to go on JL’s…

I’ll let you know how it goes
They just seem to be doing very well so far
Might do rubicon next week
Will let you all know

Any follow up reports on how the redesigned LOD Destroyers are doing? Did the redesign of the mounts alleviate the issue of the sliders being pushed into the body? Are these now stronger than the previous design?
