Default BA Rock Rails...

So I just recently installed the new (body mounted) rock rails from Body Armor. I thought I'd post some pics and ask you guys just how strong do you think this system is... Do you think I'd be able to use these as a jacking point? Sorry for the driveway poser pic...







Let me know whatcha think!

rock rails look good but i can't tell you how strong they are.

How do you like your front bumper? can you post more pictures of it including a side shot so i can see how far it is from your grill>

They look like they install exactly where the stock rails mount. Right?

It's a great bumper. Very solid. although I don't really plan on buying a wench ever...so I was thinking of selling it and going with a different one. I have it posted on here in the classified section.

I'll try to take another pic from the side to show you.



here's the link to the "for sale" thread h ttp://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=30940

Those rails look good, but me personally would not in anyway use those as a jacking point iif it's not attached to the frame also.

My kids and wife do all the time. I've also stood and jumped on them with no ill effects. I'm about 200lbs. I'm still wondering what kind of abuse they can take with how they're mounted. I sent an email to BA, but have not heard back yet. bleh.
