Considering the Smittybilt SRC steps, they seem decent for the money- can anyone confirm if you lose ground clearance or not with these??

You don't. Mine are no lower than the frame.

I just ordered the Go Rhino Dominator Extreme D6's and some Weathertech front mudflaps to be installed Thursday, will post pics when done. I haven't ordered the optional bolt on steps yet, as its still stock with the 33's, but that will be a nice feature when moving up to 35's and a lift.

just put my ace sliders on today, stoked on them but came a little scuffed up (not sure how as the packing was not damaged)

first real mod I have done on a jeep or any car

hit each bolt with the torch for about 25-30 seconds. and used an impact wrench I borrowed from a buddy

took about an hour from start to finish. prob could have cut that time in half but watched the videos a couple of times and took my time to avoid breaking a bolt.

next to order and install a winch
Could you post up a photo of your
Ace sliders?? I have a JL Sport and am considering these, but can’t find a photo of how they look on anything other than a Rubi...

Installed the LoD Destroyer rock sliders today, main reason to help the wife and kids get in.
Had to loosen 2 of the body bolts which was not difficult. Hardest thing was trying to get them in place by myself, 2 jackstands and a old jack did the trick.

Took about 4 hours in all.

They definitely didn't go cheap on the packaging.

Happy wife, happy life.

I am very happy with the Rock Slide Engineering rails. My wife originally said she would never get in the jeep. Now every time I use it she wants to come along. She couldn't get into the jeep without the folding step.

The one mod I get asked about more than anything else are my Go Rhino Dominator D6 sliders/steps. I should note the drop steps are removable to allow for full clearance and sliders.

I couldn’t be happier with my Raptor side steps. I did a ton of research and these fit beautifully on my 2020 Rubi 2 dr WITH front splash guards!

Looks good Whisky19.

Now you just need to cover up that pinch weld. Bushwacker makes a nice door sill/rocker cover for the 2 door JL (Bushwacker 14095 Trail Armor Door Sill & Rocker Panel Cover).

You can thank me later for helping spend more of your money :)
