no scratches on a jeep is like a life un-lived. Your poor jeep watches all the others drive by lifted and covered with mud and wonders what real life is like... what could have been.

That's what compound is for.

Just be smart and you will be fine.

Still not comfortable with that horrible grinding sound of steel on rock...

Same here...but I'm getting used to it. I think I'll upgrade my crossmember eventually. I don't trust the stocker.

I upgraded during the summer to a heavy duty Poison Spyder cross member. Not sure exactly why or what it does for me but at the time I was on a PS buying binge LOL. Figured it could only be helpful.
