About to purchase a 2025 GX OT. It has running boards, which I will switch out for rock rails. If I go with the Lexus OEM rails, are the rails and connectors sufficiently strong to be used as lifting or jacking points with, say, a High Lift jack?
 
To add to this, are they also legitimate sliders? I drive on tight trails and use mine to pivot around trees/rocks and to keep the rear tire/wheel well opening from getting hung up on a rock or tree. They need to stick out past the body and ideally taper out toward the rear tire. Trying to decide if the factory sliders are worth getting or if I should skip them and go aftermarket.

Sliders on my current vehicles both 20degree.
