They are the same ones that Trail-Gear sells.
You'll still need frame plates... http://www.trail-gear.com/rocksliders.html
T-G has free shipping.

If you don't run them, then a) you won't be able to bolt on the sliders
, and b) in a weld-on situation, you run the risk of dimpling your frame if you take a hard hit.

...that's why I brought 'em up.
On the TG site, the gusset description reads:
"Rock Slider Gusset Kits
Our gusset kits include plates for the frame and triangle corner gussets. Plate welds to frame and rock slider welds to plate."
So I don't think they come with the sliders.

when i asked the guy on the phone, he said they came with the plates to be welded. he said that the gussets were for the bolt on applicaion. i will have to clarify before buying for sure then!

I'll get you as many frame plates as you need for install of one set for $20 + shipping. I will drill upto 4 holes in each plate for $1 a plate. I work in a lab for a metals company, and have access to a shear. pm if your interested.
