They look fine.... Does he ship a frame plate for each leg with them?


What lead you to those outside of say, Stubbs?

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.

 

boy looking at those, i paid a bit much for my allpro ones 2 years ago

 

awesome! you know what, after looking more, that site is nearly identical to the other site! i called t-g and they said that they would be able to ship on monday and free shipping!, i like them now!

 

i can't believe how many companies/websites there are that sell all that same stuff.

 

Don't forget the frame plates/gussets!

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.

 

agreed, i think that i want to weld them on. they come with the plates for that. the gussets are used for bolt on method if i am correct?

 

I used gussets and plates for my weld on ones....just think of all the extra surface area and weld... for bolt on, yes use both also...

 

Ummm, be sure. I know that the Stubbs sliders do, but the site that you originally posted and the TG site don't mention them.

...that's why I brought 'em up.


On the TG site, the gusset description reads: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!

 

Wow those are nice + CHEAP!

 

oh midiwal, cause they are almost half the price

 

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.

 

ok will let you know

 

Great price! I wonder what the quality is like! I would like a set. I couldn't buy the steel to build my own for that price.

 

ok will post the results, how should i test for quality?

These bars are made from 1.5" .120 wall mild steel similer to other bars on the market. Only bars made from DOM or chromoly tubing would be stronger.

 

I love mine, plenty of pics here:
