Rocker rails
Been going back and forth for a few months now about the rocker rails from AA Corvette. There is another rocker rail with integrated jack-pucks but they are basically 3 times the cost of the rocker rails from AA corvette. Can I use the rocker rails made by AA corvette for lifting the car?
Pic is the one sold by AA Corvettes, don't have pics of the one with the integrated jack pucks and also don't know the vendor

I have the regular rocker rails. They work fine and you can jack the car from anywhere along the rail.
I generally try to jack it where the pucks would go as I assume that's the strongest part of the car?

I have AA's. They're nice. Not as nice as EE's, but cheaper. If I were buying them now, I'd buy EE's. I jack from AA's rail all the time. Jacking isn't as much of a concern as keeping it jacked. I think EE's would be more stable on jack stands... My $.02.

I have the A&A rails as I've had them fitted for a few years - before EE started selling their product.
The A&A rails are great but they do cover the jacking points. I tend to jack from the front of the car rather than the fenders. That said, those rails are strong. I'm sure there would be no problem jacking from where the pucks would fit providing you make sure the car doesn't slip off the jack.
As for choice the two products are different. From looking at the pics, the EE rails, as with all their products, are beautifully engineered . You pay for that quality. the A&A rails are more functional but still a great product. Its down to personal choice.
Also, not sure if you've considered it but the frame savers (small wheels under the nose) are well worth the $$. A&A have a set and Willfulone just started selling them too. Again, another good investment to protect from scrapes.
