Do you need a Bodylift to put on Sliders?
I was wondering how many of you have a body lift and how many don't.
I was talking with the guy who's going to make mine, and he said it looked like everyone in the pictures I showed him had at least a 2" b/l. I got most of my pics from the sliders roundup page: Maniac metal type, Ryans square/round combo.
Let me know, also some good pics would help, like a view on the same level as the slider support bars. That way I can see how much clearance you have between the bar and body. He was also concerned with the bars bending up and blocking the door (mainly on the maniac type) He's done alot of custom fab work on Toyotas and he's concerned about the strength of the frame and all the leverage a slider will put on it. I think Roger's design will be the next type I show him. Thanks for the help!
P.S. I'll try to get some pics of the 4Runner he's working on right now, so far it has a completely fabbed up front end with huge King coilovers and I think he said 16" of travel.

I"m getting sliders put on at stock height. But I think it is reccommended that if you ever want to body lift ur truck and have sliders, body lift it first and then put the sliders on.

Nope, there's no lift on mine either.
One thing that your buddy may be seeing is that the 4Runners tend to look like they have a body lift when you pull off the running boards.
