Just an installation issue? Are bolt-on sliders an option?

Found my Yota!!! Woohoo! (Now I need to change my forum name.)
I have the V8!! 2005 SR5 4x4 with only a few unnecessary options.
I got an excellent deal through my friend at the dealership. Near perfect condition, meticulously detailed, only 42K miles, and Toyota certified with extended drivetrain warranty & roadside service.
$16,200!! About $3000 below loan value! The total with all fees and taxes was $17,627, so I'm comfortably below my maximum budget of 20K.
Why the V8? Mostly because it was available today at that price, I couldn't find as good a deal on a V6, and I need a ride NOW. My friend tried to find me an '05 or '06 SR5 V6 at the lease auction today and couldn't come close to the same deal.
Apparently, since gas prices have come back down demand has been rising for used 4th gens. The dealer had acquired this one off lease last fall when prices were at the bottom. I figure the $2000 or so I saved would more than cover the small difference in mpg.

Starting next weekend, I'll be transforming it into a seriously capable off-road vehicle, but it's already done a decent job off-road in stock trim. The low ground clearance is definitely a big issue, so a good lift is a must.
