    I think for daily driving and the price and for light stuff the 6112 are starting to look better and better especially for the size of the shock it’s a 2.6” diameter according to shock surplus they say the piston is larger than the whole fox 2.0 assembly but I dunno seems like a good choice

    TRD Pro suspension with Headstrong 3 Leaf AAL, DV8 OR front slimline bumper & Engine Skid Plate, RCI OR high clearance bumper, CaliRaised Trail Edition Sliders, Spidertrax 1.25" Wheel Spacers, 265/75 16 GY Duratracs, wrapped the OEM wheels, OR Roof Rack, Extang Exceed Hard top Tri fold tonneau.
    They are 265/75 16 E Load GY DuraTracs, and yes, the Pro suspension is about an inch higher than the OR, combined the truck sits about an 1 1/2” over a stock OR in the front and 1/2” in the rear. Right now I am sitting 36.5” from ground to bottom of the fender in the front, and 37” in the rear.

    You probably want to consider changing the order and look for a frame mounted slider, as the body mount steps can cause rocker panel damage if bottomed out off road. There are a number of Black Friday sales going on right now. I just picked up a set of CaliRaisedLED Trail Edition bolt on sliders for $552 OTD. There are other options, but CaliRaised is close enough to where I live to drive to pick them up.

    Unless they are mounted to the frame, they will not provide enough protection to be called rock sliders. The sheet metal of your rocker panels and the rest of the body of your truck is super thin and weak, yet extremely expensive to repair.

    The website is https://caliraisedled.com They are based in Ft. Worth, TX. I believe shipping would be about $150. If you are still interested, ask for Jake, he is a TW member here, and very helpful. @CaliRaisedLed
