Frequently Asked Questions

+Will these sliders fit my vehicle with KDSS?

Yes! These Southern Style Offroad rock sliders are specifically engineered to be fully compatible with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) found on many 4Runner and GX460 models. They will not interfere with the function of your suspension.

+Do I need to drill or modify my vehicle for installation?

No, you do not. These sliders are designed for a 100% bolt-on installation using existing factory points on your vehicle's frame. All required hardware is included, making the setup process straightforward.

+Will these sliders work with the XREAS suspension?

No, these rock sliders are not compatible with the XREAS suspension system found on some 4Runner and GX460 models. The hydraulic lines of the XREAS system interfere with the slider mounting points.

+Can I use these rock sliders as a step?

Yes, the sliders are strong enough to be used as a step for accessing your roof rack or getting into the vehicle. Their primary function is protection, so they do not offer a wide, flat stepping surface like a dedicated running board, but they are fully functional for this purpose.

+ How much weight can these rock sliders support as a jack point?

While primarily designed for protection, these rock sliders are built with robust 3/16" structural tubing that can handle significant weight. However, we recommend consulting your vehicle's manual for proper jacking procedures and using designated jack points when possible for safety.

+ What's the difference between these sliders and tubular running boards?

Unlike decorative running boards, these rock sliders are designed for serious protection. They're constructed from much thicker steel (3/16" vs typical thin aluminum), positioned higher for better ground clearance, and engineered to absorb and deflect impacts that would damage conventional steps or running boards.

+ Will these affect my vehicle's approach or departure angles?

These sliders are strategically designed and positioned to provide maximum protection while minimizing impact on your vehicle's off-road geometry. The CAD-engineered design maintains optimal clearance angles while delivering superior undercarriage protection.

+ How long will the matte black finish last in harsh conditions?

The premium powder coating is specifically formulated for durability in off-road conditions. It resists chipping, fading, and corrosion better than paint, and the matte finish helps hide minor scuffs and scratches that occur during normal trail use. For maximum longevity, occasional cleaning and inspection are recommended.
