When I first fabricated my slider, it was completely stock, so they stopped short of hitting the SR5 flares. Since then I went to 35" tires, for them to clear the bottom portion of the flares needed to be cut off. Now there was a gap between the sliders and tire, where a rock could contact the body. I finally have the time to do a much needed modification....
cut the back portion off and extended to the end of the body seam

bent a piece of tubing 135 degrees and welded it in place

The back doors just clear the kickouts a little over an inch and stick out almost flush with the width of the rear wheels.
