We have the factory rock sliders. After being in the mud without flaps, it's MISERABLE. Are there any mudflaps that work with the rock sliders?

you can use the factory ones... even though it sais you cannot! There were earlier posts about this and other have done it.
Disclaimer: I have not tried it yet, so this is info from another post, not my experience.
Also, some have broken off their mudflaps due to mud/ rocks.

I think they are trying to tell you if you use your rock bars theres a good chance you will tear off the mudflaps. Yes they fit. I also put my tube steps back on under the rock guards with custom made brackets in almost the same stock location, 4 bolts and they are off.

I have both. I have not torn one or ripped it off, but I have bent them pretty good.
They are made of a hard molded plastic, so there is some give, not much though.
In real serious mud, they do not help. See black rock desert in the Local Events and Activities.
But, for keeping the daily splashing from making rooster tails down the side of your truck, they work great.

Im new to puting pics. on the computer. Maybe my kid can do it. Just take the mounting bracket and cut the end off that mounts to the frame and redrill the holes in the tube step that mounts the bracket to tilt it up to the rock bar piece that has 2 holes in it . Drill the bracket to line up with one of the holes in the rock bar and bolt it. That is for the front bracket. The back bracket you do the same but add an aprox. 3 inch piece of flat bar to tie them in. (because I mounted it by the flat step area) and at the very ends use a threaded bar and drill through both bars and tie together. To do the first side it took me about an hour and a half to figure it out then the otherside went much easer in about an hour. and it looks factory.
