This video is 2 years old, but exactly what I needed to hear to choose between BMR and Steeda. I thought Steeda's powdercoat looked a little cheap and the rubber plugs over the lower grade hardware didn't exactly instill confidence. I'm also a weld snob, so thank you for taking the time to make this.
Now a serious comment: It was not real easy to see the difference in BMR and Steeda jacking rails on the Summit Racing website, but BMR has the ends nicely welded closed and angled, plus the bolt holes are lined / welded / sealed as shown in this video. ! I think it's well worth the slight extra cost over Steeda's. I weighed my pair of rails, 15 lbs for both. They are sturdy, but the weight is not significant overall. And, they will protect the car from all kinds of damage, from improper jacking to bad street curbs and parking lot entrances. They also make jacking a lot easier, you can put the jack anywhere on the rails. Highly recommended.
I got the very same rails for my 2016 V-6 mustang. Yes, they do their job protecting the bottom seams of the car BUT, they will stiffen the ride. I mean a rough kidney busting stiff ride. After a year and a half, I am considering their removal. Great video, Thanks.
Another satisfied customer. Ordered a set yesterday. Almost got the Steeda but don't like the exposed mounting bolts. Prefer that area to be recessed..
That was one of my first mod I have Steeda at the time they were the only ones out but you’re correct if you are going to be fooling around with the car the rails are a must
I'm so grateful you did this video again, as I remember you mentioning this product some time back and it's definitely something I want to attach to my car. Will it fit the 2017 Mustang ecoboost? And what are those existing bolts connected to, on the car, that they can be removed and reinstalled without any problem? Anyway, thanks again for another great video.
Thank you for posting this video with the info. I just purchased a set on your recommendation for my 2017 Mustang V-6. Looking for jack points on today's vehicles with no frames stinks. Our Jeep Trailhawk had a flat and it too me 30 minutes to find a jack poinr.
Looking at a set for my 2022 Mustang Ecoboost, but I have heard there are slight differences, so once my car gets here (end of the month) I'll then look and order if they fit
I just bought this for my new 2019 GT 350 (in black since my car is blue). Love your videos. You mentioned the longer one is for Driver side? Did you use lock-tite (Blue) when you re-screwed them back in so they do not come lose? Thank you
We don't have "Hockey Pucks" (?) in TEXAS but if you chop up some milk jugs (HDPE, not to be confused with HPDE, which is what your Mustang is for anyway) and melt it in a clean tuna can in an oven at 350-400F, that works OK too ;-) Or you can use a scrap of plywood or 2 by 4.
Completely agree. Super OCD. I end up putting a fair amount of effort and money in getting better and or replacement Hardware many many times. Bums me out. I select Quality Products only to be let down by the supplied hardware. NEVER EVER use cheap junk hardware on anything that could risk Life and Limb.
I have some steeda jacking rails on my wife's s197. Went on easy. Very useful. I don't think BMR has jacking rails for the s197. At least they didn't when I bought the ones from steeda
I dunno man. This looks like a product that's solving a problem that doesn't exist. That's a lot of dead weight to add on an already heavy car. If it hangs low enough to protect the braided exhaust flex joints, I MIGHT be sold, but I don't think anyone makes a product that hangs THAT low.

that side plastic crushed pretty easy would have been smart if Ford incorporated something or even jacking pucks like the Vettes use
The best video yet on jacking rails
Great video! Camera work was excellent. I'm subscribing to your channel hoping to see additional videos of this quality! Thanks
Awesome, thank you!

yes these fit all models and you use the OEM bolts, shooting you an email now.
Watched a few of these vids and no one seems to mention scraping away the putty near the front bolts.
Did you scrape the body putty?

Hmmmm, very smart product, I’m gonna see if there’s something like this for my car
Really nice!!! Any idea on the amazing no scrub wheel cleaned? Can't wait to get my hands on it...

no need for loctite they are not going anywhere just torque to spec and your good to go.
@@autofanaticcars what would be the spec to torque to ?
We don't have "Hockey Pucks" (?) in TEXAS but if you chop up some milk jugs (HDPE, not to be confused with HPDE, which is what your Mustang is for anyway) and melt it in a clean tuna can in an oven at 350-400F, that works OK too ;-) Or you can use a scrap of plywood or 2 by 4.
Do they stiffen up the ride too much? I've read reviews that people say the ride sucks afterwards
Awesome review. Thanks
good stuff. looks like the rails are slightly angled after install and not perfectly level, is that right?
Yes they are. Same goes for the Steeda Jacking Rails.
Do you use locktite in the bolts when you reinstall them? If so blue or red?
I would purchase these, but how often are you going to jack up your car. I don't even have a spare tire if I get a flat on the road.
I jack my cars up almost every week to work on them and detail them so unless you into doing that kinda stuff these wont be of much use.

Thanks for reposting!
What are full-length rails are for?
Hi,
I have a 2014 mustang gt are there jack rails or a solution for the s197 platform
I have some steeda jacking rails on my wife's s197. Went on easy. Very useful. I don't think BMR has jacking rails for the s197. At least they didn't when I bought the ones from steeda
Nice, I bought a pair 👍👌
Love the channel. A lot of great info and tips on here. Keep up the great work 😁👍
thanks for watching. AF
I have the same ones on mine, except mine are the hammered black finish
Will these work on a 2019 350R? Would love to get these for mine
yes they work on all models
Auto Fanatic thank you and keep up the good work on your channel .
Which set of rails are these...CJR001 or the CJR002???
low profile not sure on part #
@@autofanaticcars Ok that helped CJR002s. Thanks for the quick reply.
CJR002
Lol I’m a fabricator also. I’m a welder Sr 👍
Isn’t this an older video of yours..?
yes it was taken down because of a copywrite issue, long story but it came from the competitor of this product i show here.
Bmr red is ford red
I dunno man.
