You might want to see if Shrockworks will make their old 'platform' style without the rear kickout that is popular these days. Their new design doesn't look like it extends out as far as it used to. When I added sliders to my 2016, back in 2016, I also had door ding protection high on the list. I ended up with the Shrockworks step sliders. At the time the Shrockworks design didn't have the rear kickout and the entire length sticks out a good amount for a very effective step. As others pointed out your not going to get any protection from a rear door or many SUVs, but I did experiments with a few sedans and they will certainly hit the slider before the 4Runner doors. Also, I've had them on for about 4 years and there is a good amount of scuffs on the very edges which is most likely many doors over the years. It's not perfect, but probably helped avoid a few dings here and there.

Get the sliders you need for off road and as a step and get her to park and walk, not squeeze in to a tight space. This may be difficult to get her to do but IMO it's the only option.

I believe in "park and walk". We have occasional squabbles about this, especially on a rainy day where she wants to park closer.
man you guys are reminding me i'm glad i'm not married. sheesh.

If you're worried, park further away.
Why is it that when you do this, some clowns drive over and park right next to you?

also the angled ones are more prone to bending offroad and making you not be able to open the rear door.

All Pro's do a good job for doors and I took a shot from an Accord in a double turn lane......you know the move, where they are on the inside and just come straight across into the right lane..only I was already slightly ahead of her and in full view! Drove right into the slider and lifted the truck a foot! No damage to me beyond scratching my Rustoleum! Tore the front bumper off hers and she stilled pulled the ''No Englese'' and tried to drive away from the scene! 10 minutes of sanding and a re-spray and it never happened......

Beat me to it- I can park 12 spots past the last car and some shitmobile will park right next to me- drives me mad. Only happens in my pristine Transit or my 4Runner.
I can park my 25 yr old pickup and no one gets anywhere near it....

My buddy asked Budbuillt to extend his sliders an extra two inches out to help with door dings.

I added body color trim pieces. There are a few spots that look like they took a hit. Not the most stylish, but they help.

I have a bad knee and I need to open the door all the way to get out and out of kindness to other drivers I park far away, but some clown still parks next to me when I do--even if the lot is half empty.

I like how far these stick out.....I like to tell myself they provide some sort of protection from shopping carts and doors swung open without any regard. lol. But I also part way out by no one else. Every time I do, my wife yells "Goofy 33!", as if we're parking out in the Disney lot somewhere miles away. But, solid design in my opinion and I love them. Victory 4x4 Blitz sliders.

+1 on the Tyger steps for door dings.

Really I only bought them so my wife could take our daughter out of the car seat post lift, but they do stick out well enough for your intentions. She still complains about them though since they sit pretty high up for her liking, but I didn’t want OEM boards or predator steps.
