They're 58" long... so get your tape measure out! I don't know how the frame looks on the 4th gen... They're may be stuff in the way... there not be... just check it out! I hope you can fit em! 
I just got mine in today! WEEE!

I saw some pics somewhere where they ground down the pinch weld just above the bar so the slider could be mounted higher and tighter. Hmmm . .. where did I see that . . .

Quote by Wabbit: "I put on 1/4" scab plates"
I'm no structural engineer by any stretch. But, I was thinking that the surface area of the weld is greater by welding the scab plate to the frame. However, the surface area of the weld between the slider tubing and the scab plate remains the same as if the tube were welded directly to the frame. Why use plates? I saw a picture showing the tubing welded directly to the frame using gussets on the top side increasing vertical rigidity.
I think I need to go take Welding 101 at the local junior college.

For those of you that were thinking of ordering or are waiting check out this page...they've got 250 of em and are moving roughly 10 per day so do the math and you've got a little time left but they may make this price permanent if they can sell enough. http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=14450.0

Hey, what's up everybody that got the new sliders?!
Let's see 'em . . . . . even if you painted 'em pink!
I decided to install a 1" body lift before I put mine on.

Would it be possible to get this and then make them bolt to the frame? Maybe scab a plate to the frame with a larger size tube and then have the sliders slide (no pun) into the larger tube and grade 8 bolt them together? I think it would be nice to remove them to work on truck (body work-I have a hole in my cab that needs mending). Whadda think?

I dunno .120 is pretty thin stuff. I remember gashing up a set of sliders I had on a pathfinder that were the same wall thickness as that.
Anyways no real need of sliders where I wheel they might deflect trees and stuff but that's about it.
