Frame Rails Advice
Has anybody used the aluminum frame rails with built in lifting pads or the new high molecular weight plastic ones that don't have the lifting pads built in but you can still use jacking pucks from Elite Eng? Which is preffered? I don't really like the idea of drilling into the frame, but if it's going to protect the panels I will consider it. I have this scenario stuck in my mind that they will come off while driving and totaly waste the underside and fenders.

I've had the A&A rails on for 3 years now. They are fixed tight as a drum with just a few screws and there's no chance they'll fall of.
Simple mod, only minutes to fit and they give great peace of mind.
Now I need to go out and clean the underside of my car so I can keep up with Patches
