help with trail gear slider install

im mocking up my new trail-gear sliders and gusset plate kit, and realized there is no place for the rear plate to fit. i have a 93 pickup reg cab BTW. i would like to use the plate, so i dont want to just weld the pipe in between the body mount and the bed mounts. do i have to cut the plate to be skinny enough to fit there? or can i not use the plate at all? any help will be great, im trying to get these tacked up tongiht! thanks!

Don't know how the frame/body setup is on your truck but I have an 86 4Runner and mine fit fine. Have you tacked the posts onto the frame already? Maybe you have them set to high? Don't forget to leave room btwn the body and slider to allow for flex.

I left about 1/2 an inch in between and tack welded the posts onto the frame first.
