got some SWEET sliders from Jeremiah over at Proffitt's.. These things are STOUT! lemme tell you service...i called on Thurs., they were built on Friday, and "Ian" drove em to Denver on Saturday. "Thanks guys..!!"
Anyway, I think i goofed when i welded em on. Is there any problem, with your sliders sticking further out than your tires? i think i shouldve cut bout 2" off tips. Hell, I'll go pound on em a lil bit, and find out for myself. Tell me what yall think. Should i cuttem a lil shorter?

This thread is useless with out more pics...

Nice sliders, and I don't think they're going to bother anything stickin' out a bit.

Did you weld lengthwise, or across the frame?

I wouldn't cut 'em down. If for no other reason then those babies are awesome parking lot door ding protection.

Someone opens their door a little too quickly next to your truck and it'll be THEM going to the body shop!

They look nice!

Are there gussets at the frame welds or a plate or anything like that?

Click to expand...

Yes, but at the end of the slider 'leg' where it meets the frame, is there any re-enforcement or is is just the round (I'm assuming) pipe?

This is just one more reason I need to learn how to weld. But- I'm pretty dang happy with the 'Lovingly' sliders I have.

nice sliders. i would not worry about them sticking out. mine stick out past the tires and the only times it proves to be a problem is squeezing between trees. but then again, i would rather have the trees hit the sliders than my truck.
