Does all rock sliders on Gladiator a few inches short in front and rear?

[SFBayArea]

Hey guys, I was thinking of installing N-FAB RKR Rails (due to ability to attach steps), however, when I look at the pictures on the Gladitor, it looks like there is about 2" to 3" short of reaching all the way to the front and same in the rear. I looked at another supplier and found out same thing. I was told it is due to the limitation of the shipment companies.
Does any sliders available for gladiator cover full length of the body?

Thank you.

most of the newer to market sliders properly cover the pinch welds. N Fab was one of the first to market and they tend to run a bit shorter. If you look at Rock hard for instance, the ends of each slider are angled to follow the contour of the fenders for completed coverage.

Yeah I figured, they tried to offer it quickly and did very little change from the JL.

I put the Mopar Performance Rock Rails on today and couldn’t be happier. Took an hour to swap out the Overland stock rails, no fuss whatsoever. Comes with a zinc sub-coating and a bed liner overcoat for long term corrosion resistance.

Seems substantial enough to serve as heavy duty rock rails while still providing about 4” of flat surface for my 5’2” wife to get in the cab. You can see from the photos that they extend slightly past the fenders, meaning they’ll provide excellent protection for the fenders as well, but their notes indicate they only fit up to 37’s

I did not know Mopar was making a real rock sliders. How thick are those? I wonder if they will take a repeated beating?

I’m not claiming that they’ll compete strength wise with something like a Frame mounted Shrockworks, but the tubing is just shy of 1/8” wall and the brackets are around 3/16”. I’ll let the real experts indicate if that’s thick enough, but I won’t have any concern about these on greens, blues and some blacks.
