The rails mount basically the same way, and to the same mounting points as the plastic side steps. There are six small bolts in each pinch seam, and three (only) that attach to the underside of the body.

I've run my rails at Crozet and at Rausch Creek multiple times. For the most part, they've done their job. BUT, my drivers side rail has rotated up and into the body slightly--this was caused by a rock making contact with the outside edge of the rail just front of the vehicle center line. The entire rail rotated, bending the pinch seam out, and pull the three body mount bolts down--the underside of my JK's tub is now slightly deformed.

The torque created, due to the weight of the vehicle, when contact is made with the outside of the rail is too much for the three body mounting points--the complete failure of the mounting points would be catastrophic

I would recommend these rails for light to moderate wheeling only--if you plan on running rocks of any size, IMHO, you're risking destroying your tub. I have no problem with BodyArmor and I think they make some great products--the JK rails on the other hand have been a complete fiasco, again, in my opinion. The the rails themselves are as solid as you can get, but THE MOUNTING POINTS CANNOT FULLY SUPPORT THE RAILS. If you want more details, please pm me and I'll give you my phone number.

My plan is to replace my BodyArmor rails with Shrockwork's rails as soon as I can save enough money. Sad though...I do like how the BodyArmor rails look, and the do make a nice step for the family.
