    Question- Local guy has a a set of sliders never installed for sale. Message him and told him that I had a shortbed double cab would they work- he says that they are for a long bed. I am looking at the picture and wondering could they be trimmed down? Looks like it to me and if they guy is flexible enough it worth it take them and do some kickouts to it too.. anyone know if the mounting is the same between bed lengths? this is Rocky Mountain outfitters brand.

    if i recall the the only difference between frames is if you have a double cab long bed. double cab short bed and access cab long beds are the same frame. at least they were when i ordered mine from RCI 3 months ago. hope that helps

    Those only have 2 support bars, and not designed for your truck. You’d be better off looking for some designed for your truck or ordering your own.

    There was some other concerns with this particular design voiced too.. I posted in another part of the forum as the CL deals can be short lived.
