    It's complicated.
    My 2019 TRD OR DCLB
    Inside tire to inside tire measurement, is 112",
    The length of the RCI sliders end-to-end (pointed tip to pointed tip) are 88"

    Sorry for the crummy photos and wonky angles; trust me that I measured truthfully and accurately.

    I have a question for OP


    Did you call RCI and ask for the dimensions? If so, what did they say?

    Just have to thank all of you here. I am planning on building my own sliders and some of this information such as length is tough to find. So thank you for the useful, and quality information.

    Which ones would you be happy with? They all seem to be the same length give or take an inch. Let us know your choice.

    those look to be about the same in the front and about 1” longer out back...

    another “worthless” set (per OP’s style thinking)

    My CaliRaised sliders for my DCLB are identical to your Mobtown sliders. They measure 95".

    It’s been noted by another vendor that 80” is most slider lengths which makes it a best practice or industry standard.

    No one should have to call to find out if a product is less than normal. RCI should post that.

    Yes. You can only judge by the relationship to the black plastic fender liner. For sure they are slightly different, but at best an inch or something. Not sure that is relevant.

    Looks like RCI shorted you about 7" for your DCLB sliders. My CaliRaised DCLB sliders are 95"

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    Now that is something to bitch about most LB sliders are 95ish inches. Ours are 96"

    Those are for the DCLB mine is a short-bed. It’s also noted that LB sliders should be 96

    Joe,

    that’s not how it works. Each vendor / manufacturer has “artistic freedom” with their products. Some will chose to make them squared, some round. Some flat, some angled. Some make them heavier and some lighter. Some make the ends beveled, some squared. Some are more money, some are less money. Some take no wait time, some are 3 months wait. Some 78” some 80”.

    you as a consumer look at the choices and then decide what is best for you. If you aren’t certain about something that is PARAMOUNT to you, you ask.

    hate to disagree with you, but yes phone call should be warranted if there is a question or concern.

    had RCI misinformed OP, then he would have an argument. Misleading / miss information NEVER happened.

    this wasn’t a custom product, especially tailored to suit OP’s truck. This is a standard product that is mass produced. Pretty easy to get full specs on it.

    this is on OP, not RCI.
