When I first fabricated the sliders, my 4Runner was completely stock, so they stopped short of hitting the SR5 flares. Since then I went to 35" tires, for them to clear the bottom portion of the flares needed to be cut off. Now there was a gap between the sliders and tire, where a rock could contact the body. Adding kick-outs have helped quite a bit and never had any problems with them hanging up either. They actually make it easier to pivot turn around boulders....
cut the back portion off and extended to the end of the body seam
bent a piece of tubing 135 degrees and welded it in place
a view of the other side
The back doors just clear the kickouts a little over an inch and stick out almost flush with the width of the rear wheels.
