Default suggestions for rock rails

I am looking to install a set of rock rails on my X. After getting over the shock of what Mopar and the other aftermarket sources are asking just because the JK's are new, I thought I'd ask here what you guys think is the best value rock rail out there at this time. I want a rock rail with a slider bar and was looking at one made by Olympic in the Qudratech catalog for $379.00. Does anybody have any experience with these or any suggestions for others for around the same money or less?

Will the Shrockworks work in conjunction with the Rubicon rails? I'd like to keep the stock ones on.

after talking to them on the site, they said they can be altered by them to accomidate the factory rails. Something about moving them down a half inch i think.

Why do you want to keep the stock rails?

You can keep your Mopar Rock Rails if you get the Olympic Extreme Reversa Bars. I saw them turned down for a step in conjuction with the Mopar rails. Someone on here had them on a thread about M.O.R.E. bumbers.

I think you wanted that question directed at me. I like the way they look and I think they add some additional level of protection although purely cosmetic when the Shrockworks rails are added.

This is Red Rock Rubicon's Jeep. He has both rock rails installed.

Thanks for the pic. Excuse my ignorance, but the Shrockworks rails look like they're upside down.
