Default Rock rails/sliders

I am looking at getting some rock rails. I am looking to get something that is complete BOLT-ON. NO DRILLING into the body. I also need\want a rock rail that protects the flange that hangs below the body.
I took my plastic steps off to go off-road, and hit a rock that bent the the thin flange below the door.
Thanks,
Jeff

Every so often someone on the for sale threads want to swap their rock rails for your side steps. Keep an eye open for it and it might not cost a thing.

Or-Fab, bolt on, you just have to drill out the holes on the pinch seam. Very easy to do, i did it by my self.

SB XRCs. You only have to drill one hole through the pinch seam and u could probably get away without drilling it. Tough as nails so far I'm fairly impressed. They also keep the sides of my jeep cleaner.

X 2 on the Or-Fab they also cover the pinch seem. Nothing hanging under neath to get caught on rocks or what-ever.
