I am looking for something that mounts to the frame, not the body. Does such an animal exist? Thanks!

Mine mount to the body with factory holes. Let me know if you're interested and I'll share some pictures.

I've seen shrockworks rails ontop of the factory rails. You just need to specify that that's what you intend to do when you order and they'll build it so you can use both

Alternative Component Engineering (ACE) make some that fit around a factory Rubi rail. Someone posted up a picture of it a little while back.

The EVO rockers work over the stock rubi rails. It is a tight fit, but they work. Is there a reason you want both?

That's correct but they do mount to the body.

I have the Off Road Evo rocker guards with rubi rails. They work fine.

Both protect different areas, plus they look cool.

The Shrockworks can be made to fit over existing rails as long as you mention that when ordering (as someone else already mentioned). But the wait time on those can be way long..12 weeks+
