    Hello,

    Maybe sag isnt the best word, but how much lower should I expect the truck to sit with some bolt on rock sliders?

    I am stock 3G TRD OR w/ only 276/75R16. Should I get a lift first? Can only afford one or the other.

    I dont offroad but I do live in AZ and use this truck for hunting, I never expect to bang on a rock but you never know.

    I may be completely wrong, but I wouldn't think only having sliders would make it sit lower.

    Its once you keep adding things and the weight go significantly up.

    Ok thats what I thought. Maybe an insignificant amount them being only 50 lbs each roughly at most. Plus im still only 160lbs myself so I still have plenty of wiggle room

    The sliders just make your truck look lower than without them. If you look at where the frame sits compared to you body it’s a lot lower.

    Since sliders mount to the frame it looks like you’re sitting lower because the sight line is now at the slider/frame level not at the cab.

    With my truck it looks lower but after measuring it. It’s at the same height.

    I’m about to upgrade to 285/75r16 and not have to worry about it anymore :rofl:

    pretty much all sliders for the 3rd gens are 150lbs per set, 75-ish each side. except for SDHQ sliders which are chrome moly and are 50lbs per side, just under 100lb total both sides including hardware for bolt ons.

    they sit between the axles so weight is low and evenly distributed, and won't sag or drop your truck unless your suspension is literally dying.

    They’re RRW sliders.

    My trucks changed a little bit since then.
