slider installation

[secretagent]

how much of the body to have to cut to install the rock sliders. also would you also have to cut the bottom of the front fenders, i thought i had seen somewhere before a rubber piece that attached to the bottom of the fenders. does anybody know? thanks

I will be trimming my fenders...It all depends on the slider design.

I removed 1 1/2 from the bottom and an additional 1/2 where the tubing goes into the frame.
Since the tubing is 2" in diameter, it has approx. the same ground clearance as the original sliders.

Sometimes I think I should have removed 2" from the bottom, but you know what they say...It's always easier to remove it then...

go to BTB products web site. They have a product support section that will take you step by step for trimming the body to install the angle iron sliders. The directions include pictures.
