Installing sliders with drop brackets question (1 Viewer)

[citadel]

Before I jump into this...
I have a set of sliders from Cruisin Off-road. I also am running MAF drop brackets.
Do I remove the drop brackets to install the sliders and then reinstall the drop brackets?

It isn't possible without some modifications to the slider. There is only one place that I know of that makes them specifically for rigs with drop brackets, that is White Knuckle Offroad. I have drop brackets as well and this is where I will go.

Jason from Cruisin off-road just emailed me and said I need to install the slider bracket between the drop bracket and the frame.

How easy is it to unbolt the MAF bracket and lower it to install the sliders?

Won't that lower the bracket and change your suspension geometry?

There should be a little gap there to sandwich it in there.
Don't be like me & over think it for hours only to realize once you get started it's not that hard to do or a big deal.
It will be OK.
Just do it. Dive in. GetRdone. The end result is SLIIIIIIDDERS...
Post pics once your done for historical purposes.

Very easy, its just one bolt. Give it a good soaking before you start though. When I deleted my MAF brackets before the slider install I had one of those giant bolts flatten a thread. It took about ten minutes of me kicking my ratchet to get it off of there.

Just finished the driver side. The sliders fit between the MAF drop bracket and the frame.
I started by using a ratchet strap on the front axel and tied it to another truck to keep the axel from moving.
I then put a jack stand under the frame.
I unbolted the 2 bolts from the back of the drop bracket and then I unbolted the bolt that goes through the control arm bushing. From there I was able to swing the bracket down and out of the way to install the slider.

Can you post a picture of what it looks like finished, I have a similar situation I am trying to figure out with my Bump it off Road sliders.
Thanks!

Awesome.
GetRdone!

I stand corrected. Well done.
