Resurrecting an old thread to ask if anybody knows...
Will the ends of these clear Bushwackers? They look like they have enough room at each end for the bigger fenders, but I'd hate to find out the hard way that they don't.

looks good.
Thinking of getting a set myself.
Is there any upwards flex to these. I'm concerned that if I'm leaning sideways on a rock they would flex into the body of the Jeep.
Which is stronger, these or the factory rubi rails

I have read a few post on these that they do bend in the middle due to their mounting locations. Only two body mounts...others use at least three and some even go a step further like bolts through the pinch seem. I should be getting my a to z fabrication rocker guards tomorrow and will post some pics and details this weekend.

Smitty's
I've got these on order from Autoanything.com and they had a pretty good deal and free shipping. Use WELCOME as a promo code and get 10% off. I went with them mainly because I liked the look and the price couldn't be beat. I have yet to receive them but am interested in seeing how they hold up. It would be ideal if I could keep my factory Rubi rails on and put these on over them but I don't know that that's possible. Has anyone kept the Rubi rails and still put on rockers?

Over stock rubi rails.
DO these mount to the frame, if so wonder if you were to put a 1 inche body lift would you still be able to keep the stock rubicon rails?
Hummm now I need body lift, and a pair to figure this one out.
Front connection point looks like it mounts to the frame, rear appears to use the body mount of the rubicon rail.

IF they lean on anything towards the middle they will bend in and hit the frame
My right side has a nice dimple from the bend. I bought em for the price and also the looks. They definatly are beefy but need some center support. I'm gonna talk to my jeep guru about welding in the middle.
