Depends on the trails you wheel. Trils like the rubicon are pretty easy to keep a straight body but alot of the trails here in az if you slip a tire or miss a line then you are bound to beat up some sheet metal. Some stay off those trails but i didnt build and sink so much money into my truck so it could stay on easy trails. My truck is built to wheel tough trails and thats what i prefer to wheel. Tough trails have more risk of body damage then trails like the rubicon. Plus i dont ever drive mine on the street so having some body damae isnt a big deal.
