You can buy black strips to go around the cut section... In canada.. Canadian tire sells it for about $15 for 6 feet... I am sure you can get it at Walmart etc in the states.

Custom comes one sawzall blade at a time.... can't bolt on custom (or is it experience?). In other words cut it before u lift it w/a body lift. Keep that center of gravity down.

The only reason 4Runners look saggy in the rear is because they cut the front fenders higher than the rear. Kinda like they do on trophy trucks and such.

Sorry for opening up an old thread but did you ever do anything to the rear? I plan on saving up for a good lift if I get one and I've got my eyes on a total chaos kit and there will definitely have to be some cutting involved.
