Default sourcing replacement rockers panels

Replacing both sides rockers.
When looking at the Mopar part, it is for 98-2001 ($94.00 a side)
I see lots of folks selling "Key Parts" for aroud 45-50 a side.
Raybuck brand for $65.00 each side
Amazon has "Classic to current" brand at $60.00 PAIR


Are they all the same??
Anyone have real experience with them?
Any idea what the OEM metal thickness was ?


Thanks,
Slack

When replacing them on older XJ's or even newer ones many decide to make rocker skids to fit the area from rectangular steel tube. They work very well and you have skids in a place where they are needed most, plus easy to fabricate if you have a welder.


Search here for people who have built them with photos or even U-tube for details.
