Below is an under side view, comparing RMaxx Running Boards to RMaxx Running Boards with Rock Slider Armor.  For an in-depth explanation of Rivian R1T R1S Running Boards and Rock Sliders and what the differences are and which is right for you, visit our learning center - click HERE

• What is a Running Board?As named, this product provides a 'step' that runs the length of the cab
• Aerodynamic optimized designed, stays “inside” the outer tire aero surface, minimizing range impact
• Welded and gusseted bracketsfor strength - RMaxx Running Boards are rated for +1000lbs loads!
• No reduction in ground clearance – Carefully engineered to provide a proper step at the right height
• Easy DIY installationwith no drilling or permanent modifications required
• Bolt on to factory Rivian mounting points, no drilling or modifying the frame structure!
• Compatible with Jack Pucks!Brackets are clearanced to allow use of Team 1EV jack pucks
• Offered in two modest but stylish tread design designs(tread plates bolt-on, can be changed!)
• Proudly Made in the USA 🇺🇸and finished in electrostatic textured black powder coating - with OEM-grade zinc coating for maximum corrosion protection
• Includes all necessary installation hardware, installation instructions by video
• Allows for optional re-installation of Rivian underside plastic covers(requires minor cover trimming)

• What is a Running Board with Rock Slider Armor?The combination is welded together as one unit for maximum strength.  Result: all the benefits of a running board, plus the addition of a structural protective frame member providing the ultimate Rivian underside safeguarding
• Extensive Frame Fastener Points, Extra Welded and Gusseted brackets for the ultimate strength - RMaxx Rock Sliders are rated for 1760lb+ loads! Yes, you could place 100% of the Rivian Rated Load on your slider, and the slider won't flinch!
• Aerodynamic optimized designed, stays “inside” the outer tire aero surface, minimizing range impact and , angling and capping the leading edge of slider for aero efficiency and smooth slider engagement
• The slider armor is a structural steel rail positioned with the slider bottom edge about one inch lower than the Rivian underside belly. The bottom edge positioning provides underbody protection clearance– When traveling over obstacles or hazards you want to impact the slider (safe) - not the Rivian underside (not safe)!
• The RMaxx Slider is fully plateweldedto the running board and further fortified with gussets at each bolt center, ready for heavy weight Rivians.  Sliders include a bolt-on armor steel plate to fully replace all underbody outer plastic panels - no cutting or modifications required.  All plating and bracket design has been optimized for aerodynamic efficiency.  
• Attaches directly to Rivian frame structure, with factory attachment points and direct-to-framecontact –no drilling or cutting or permanent Rivian frame modification required!
• Team 1EV Sliders are engineered structural components, perfectly acceptable for jacking directly on the slider (jack pucks are still compatible, but not required. Both the Sliders and Jack puck points can be used for jack stands if desired). Rivian can be jacked from the Slider center point on the vehicle side center, effectively lifting the entire side of the Rivian with one jack.

• Are these made in the USA? - YES

• Are these compatible with Rivian RUS (Underside Production Option) - YES

• Can I still use Jack Pucks with these? - YES, all factory jack puck locations are reincorporated in the slider.  So jack pucks will remain spatially in the same area, and simply connect to the slider, which properly translates the lifting load to the Rivian frame.  

• Can I jack up my Rivian on these? - The 'Slider' version can be jacked directly on.  You can jack up the Rivian in the middle of the truck, on the slider, if you like.   We do not recommend jacking directly on the 'Running Board Only' version - the factory jack puck locations are still accessible.

• Do these cause noise or whistling?  - NO

• Will these impact my range?  - Technically, sure.  How much, not enough to worry about.  We made various design features to optimize the aero and remain least disruptive to the range.

• Can I get the Running Board version now, and add the Slider option later?  - NO, the Slider version is welded together with the Running Board and is an entirely different product.  

• Can I jump up and down on these without issue or concern? - ABSOLUTELY!

• Do I need to remove any factory frame, battery, RUS fasteners - NO!  We only use the correct Rivian fastener bosses.

• Can I install the Rock Sliders on my own?  - YES!  In fact, the Rock Sliders are easier to install than the Running Boards! Watch this video:
