Are you saying you already have sliders on? If so it's gonna look retarded. If you havent' put them on yet just weld em up higher that's what I did.

Any bar on the side of the truck at all and it almost comletely conceals the bl... I have a 3" on my truck and a Smittybilt 3" nerf bar.

just make sure you weld them on closer to the body then you nomrally would...i know what you mean UKMyers, every time a thread mentions the two words it gets way off topic...

It will look fine in my opinion....I have a 2inch BL and I think 4Runners look ALOT better than most other SUV's with BL's on them. (Like Blazers, etc..)

If I were you I wouldn't weld them super close to the body. Some time in the future you may want to lower or totally remove your body lift. Just something to think about as I am in this predicament right now. With the sliders I don't think anyone would even notice that you have a body lift.

Yep, just get the sliders built to mount 3" higher up to match the body lift:


I can make my sliders to handle anything from stock to 3" body lift:

Here is the 3" lift version:
