True rock sliders

[IvanNik]

Looking for the options for true rock sliders.
(let's try to avoid debates: running boards vs rock sliders)

So far I have next list:

https://rocky-road.com/shop/ram-trx-rock-sliders/
looks solid but attached to the body unfortunately.

https://www.12degnorth.com/product-page/ram-trx-19-22-rock-sliders-rockrails
is it the same rocky-road sliders?
from the description: the mounts are not just attached to the frame, but the frame and the body.. hm..
don't see details or proofs

DIY/ partial DIY (bolt-on to the frame). Probably will use local shops for adjust mounts.

Another option is local shops.

Looks like existing sliders for rebel will not work.

Do we have any other options?

I contacted 12degnorth.com and have confirmed that it's the rocky-road sliders (mounted to the rocker panels)

white-knuckleoffroad Ram 1500 Rebel may fill all 1500s..

I contacted white-knuckleoffroad and they asked photos:

If possible any photos that you can provide of your vehicles frame etc would be a great help to determine if our sliders will fit without any modifications.

My truck is ordered recently, could anyone provide the photos of the frame? (both sides)

I have factory off road running boards installed. Don't know if those will be in the way of what you need to see, but if they're not, let me know and I'll get you some pics.

That should be ok, I need to see the frame structures and features behind the running boards.

My local jeep buddies go to that park and I'd like to attend with them as well. Along these same lines, does anyone have good pictures of all the skid plates underneath and what's covered? Is it the same as the new rebel?

 

[Banger]

Here are pics. Starting with 3 on the right side. Then 3 on the left. I tried to take videos for a better view, but it was too large to upload

 

[IvanNik]

Thank you @Banger, but frankly speaking the photos are showing exactly mounting points that I want to avoid..
the white-knuckleoffroad sliders are attached to the frame (not to the rocker panel like regular running boards)

e.g. this if the frame photo from 1500 Rebel:

so I need the photos for whole frame behind the running boards
I wish we have the schema in the parts diagrams on mopar site..

 

[asdf]

If tow mirrors reduce MPG, how much does all that angular crap hanging down from running boards reduce it? I guess they're in the slip stream the wheels and front of the truck already made, but the mounts themselves are definately not aesthetic or aero whatsoever and look like garbage IMO. The other "con" is that some of these legit sliders like the rocky roads add 200lbs to the truck. Not trying to be offensive just haven't seen anything personally appealing for rocker and door ding protection. Maybe we could outsource some titanium ones to Russia

if this helps .... (pic order is front to back)

 

[IvanNik]

I agree with @asdf.
Everyone had to make a decision and find a balance between protection and weight.
