Based on the hardware that held the step bars onto my last Ranger, I would look into the hardware that connects the step bars to your unibody to make sure they won't get blasted off on a rock. Mine were connected by some cheap 1/4" plate welded directly to the bar with no bracing. The bars were also too thin to support the truck.
I also don't think step bard should/could be substituted for rocker protection, but that's just based on the ones that I had on my Ranger. Isn't the point of rocker guards is to keep dents away, but to also allow the body of the truck to slide across rocks?
By the way, I love mildly lifted XJs, looks great.
