Sliders attached to both frame and body?

I'm looking into adding functional off road sliders to my 2016 DCSB, and there clearly are many options to choose from. I've read through the plethora of comparison threads but am curious on one specific item that I wasn't able to find by searching.

Has anyone had any issues with twisting the frame by attaching the slider moment arm to the frame? I've built my own set once before on a Jeep Cherokee, and I welded them to the frame and also used an angle iron bolted attachment point to the pinched metal joint at the bottom of the body. I don't think it had nearly the body spacers/cushions that the Tacoma has though, so clearly if I did something similar then I would be eliminating the flex ability from the frame/body. but any impact or lift from the slider would be shared by the torque on the frame and also pressing up into the body.

I'm guessing that everyone is running sliders which are bolted/welded only to the frame, without any issues flexing the frame even with the large moment arm torquing on it, so maybe I'll stop worrying about it.

 

The main difference with this subject in a Cherokee and our tacos is they are a unibody vehicle where we can separate movement/articulation in the bed vs the cab. all of the sliders I have ever seen on a taco are welded straight to the frame, bolted, or a combo of the two

 

Understood on the flex between the bed and cab. How much flex is there really between the cab and frame though?

 

Rocky Road outfitters has a set as described. Consensus appears to be that they're not a good design.

 

If you land on a something with a slider that is both on the frame and body the energy will transfer into the body and probably cause damage to the rocker area.

 

Got it, now that I knew what to search for I found a few posts on them. Thanks for the info, looks like definitely no connection to the cab.
