    I am looking for a nice set of rock slider for my tacoma, but every time i read a post, it seems they all require bending of the fuel lines, that is something i would like to avoid. I dont mind having the electrical box on passenger side hanging with 1 bolt well kind of dont mind..... but bending fuel lines...... i dont know about that....

    Pretty sure they're brake lines, not fuel lines. And even then, you're just moving them out of the way to install the slider, then moving them back. You're not actually bending them at like a 90 degree angle and actually deform the metal or anything.

    My @Pelfreybilt sliders were direct bolt on and nothing required to put them on, they give you a 1 inch brake line spacer for 1 of the bolts on the drivers side to push it out a little by popping the plastic clip that holds it to the Frame and putting it on the 1 inch block. No bleeding lines or Nothing. Took me about a hour to install both sides.

    Brake lines, not fuel. And you're not bending to the point where you're going to possibly kink. You're flexing them.

    ok, brake lines is seems even worse, but if they don't need to be bent at all then its time to shop all the brands.

    This is all you got to do, one little bolt to hold the 1 inch spacer on and it's only to get 1 bolt from hitting the brake lines!

    Hard brake lines easily bend. You do know they come straight from the factory and are bent during installation?

    sorry, not trying to be rude, but wasn't trying to get smart-ass remarks, just its a big purchase, and a dm from a certain vendor as well as a couple post about sliders, that they mention that lines had to be bent. so I just wanted to find out options and opinions. and sorry I shouldn't have said that as well.

    I didn't mean it to come off as smart ass, but they do bend easily. As long as your don't clamp down on them you will be good to go
