Would be nice to see descriptions, installation instructions or videos before or after on your website. This is like buying something from Amazon and figure it out yourself what to do with it.
Can you get the sliders if you decide to add them later on the running boards?

Interested pending more details. Also the weights listed on the site are a bit off...

" The R1T weighs almost 6,000 7,000lbs, and has a GVWR of just under 8,000 over 8,500 - we have engineered to this spec! " Hopefully that is the spec you actually engineered to.
I think this is an attractive offering, but I'll wait to hear about people's real experiences using these. I'd hate to end up having to climb out the window after banging them on a rock because it entrapped the doors. Rivian's decision to have the door opening very nearly the entire height of the side of the truck is questionable for rock sliders that double as running boards.

Yes, we will post detailed pics and installation videos.

The slider is welded with the running board, so you can't get running boards then add sliders. We figured there are two camps here, those that want running boards and don't care about sliders....and those that care.

How much lower does the step end up below the door sill?

Any ideas on the efficiency/range impact with the steps?

The step sits about .7 under the door

Range impact, will be something, but not quantified at this point. The parts are 'inboard' the tire outer surface, which is good.

As promised, happy to present our RMaxx Running Boards and Rock Sliders!

We've carefully engineered these specifically for Rivian fitments. Two options, Running Boards for those that seek the step. And for those that want to tackle the world, we've got the Rock Slider version. Looks are important to us, but so is function. So the sliders are FOR REAL. Go ahead and grind your way over the rockers, we're ready for you. Our sliders are direct frame mount and spec'd for Rivian heavyweights - no brackets or cantilever or light duty stuff here.

FAQ:
  • The step sits about 0.7" under the door
  • The Sliders are attached to the frame, behind (inboard) the running boards.
  • The Slider option is something we weld together with the Running boards. The assembly bolts to the truck (no welding on the truck)
  • Structurally, the running boards are just that - they attach with brackets and provide a step.
  • The Sliders are a heavy duty frame rail attachment that bolts directly to the frame structure and protects when sliding over rocks, high-centering the truck, etc.
  • Neither product prohibits jacking. We have that covered for both Running boards and Sliders.
  • You cant jack up on the running boards
  • You can definitely jack up on the sliders
  • Range impact, will be something, but not quantified at this point. The parts are 'inboard' the tire outer surface, which is good.

Made in the USA - in production now.

All good questions!

  • You're looking at the running boards.
  • The Sliders are attached to the frame, behind (inboard) the running boards.
  • The Slider option is something we weld together with the Running boards. The assembly bolts to the truck (no welding on the truck)
  • Structurally, the running boards are just that - they attach with brackets and provide a step.
  • The Sliders are a heavy duty frame rail attachment that bolts directly to the frame structure and protects when sliding over rocks, high-centering the truck, etc.
  • Neither product prohibits jacking. We have that covered for both Running boards and Sliders.
  • You cant jack up on the running boards
  • You can definitely jack up on the sliders
can you give more details on how the running boards "bolts to the truck"? curious to know where/how the brackets attach to the truck and then to the boards. if you have pictures that would be great.
