No, really?

The OP said he might go with Trailgears, and I advised him that the ones I bought were poorly notched and had to be redone before I could install them. Where in any of that did you get that I thought the unwelded Trailgear sliders I bought and welded onto my truck were pre-welded?

If there are any that also have the legs cut to length that would be even better (I'm kinda OCD, and that would make my life way easier) Thanks guys

Besides the title and your first post?

DIY slider kits require just that - some doing it yourself. I've welded up dozens of TG sliders, 4XI, Stubbs, Budbuilt and some I don't remember. They all require some tweaking here or there. Legs are just rough cuts with 90 degree rough notches then you cut the other end to length.

ooookay... I'm gonna put the keyboard down slowly and back away, because I don't like to argue with guys that insist on intentionally missing the point in order to win an argument. Have a nice day.

OP, if you decide to buy a slider kit, go with 4xI. I've seen 2 Trailgear kits and both might as well not have been notched at all, had to be completely redone. The 4xI kit I saw was clean and ready to go, and he doesn't charge you extra for fish plates and gussets.

Not to beat a dead horse, but my 4xi sliders came perfectly notched, but I did have to trim about an inch off the other side...
