**Rock Rails Advice?**
My lease on my 08 Sahara is almost up...and Im looking at getting a 2010 Mango Tango Sport with several options...just because thats the way the incentives rolled around...anyways trying to figure out what to do for rockrails...I have already pre ordered my lift kit a 4" kit and put a deposit on some wheels and tires 35x12.50x17s Mickey MTs...and the only real thing bothering me is the vulnerability of the rockers....are Rubicon rails okay or just go after market and if so does anyone have pics of the smittybilt rails or advice about them...? Thanks everyone!

I would run your rubi rails
They are very strong from the factory
if not theres a ton of good options available, You need to decide on Body mount, frame mount or Tub mount,

Offroad Evolution. They require welding to the frame and are bada$$. Look no further. 
FYI I wanted to attend the Cinco de Rocko event a couple of weeks ago, but Eddie specifically required sliders for that trip ... which means I had to miss out. :( Even if I had a *Rubicon* I still wouldn't have had the required gear.

How they are mounted:
I'd recommend them.

Sorry for the confusion...I currently do not have rubicon rock rails but I have seen sets sell for $150 and I was wondering if this was a good investment or if it would be more worth my time to go aftermarket...I would like rock rails that are bolt on application...because I do a ton of wrenching on my jeeps and repainting with the snow and salt we get up here rust is inevitable...So from the general gist of things its looking like rubicon rock rails are my best bet...aftermarket applications are very expensive...but ive also heard you get what you pay for on rock rails...all thoughts/comments appreciated thanks again

Like others have said, Rubi rock rails are fine. All boils down to what kind of wheeling you'll do. Tougher trails could require more protection. Fortunately I haven't put them to the extreme test. But I will soon enough. I just wanted a little more protection.
For most, Rubi rails are fine.
