slider weight

[okefenokeefzj80]

What is the average weight of a set of sliders? Can I install them myself or will I need an extra hand???

Thanks in advance,

SJ

i recomend jack stands or an extra hand for sure.

you're looking anywhere from 60-75 lbs per side.

IIRC Ken said 120lbs. I imagine that's both. You'd rather want somebody or something to hold them up while you bolt them down.

I remember hearing the same 120lb number, but when the shipment came in the documentation said they were over 200 lbs. I don't know if they're 120lbs each, but they've got to be more than 60 each. Those suckers are heavy.

mine run around the 65lb mark per side.add mounting kit and hardware and you might have another 10lbs per side.
i'm sure the side with the cat skid plate is gonna weigh a bit more .

I installed my Slee Step sliders by myself. I set them on a cooler, jacked up the side of the truck a few inches. Slid it under, lowered it back down to the proper level, and bolted them up. I'm not sure how much they weigh. But bench press wresteling definatley is out of the question. The jackstands were not in my garage when I installed them. (DON'T LOAN TOOLS!!!)

I guessed I asked the same question on another thread.
I would definitely suggest having two people to install-did it this weekend and I know I would not have been able to do it myself.
It seems the hanna sliders are 100lb plus mark esp the driver side with the cat skid plate maybe into 125lb?? on that side.

Thanks a ton guys...I am looking at getting some from another Mudder and was trying to figure out shipping costs and if I needed installation help (which it appears I will since I do not have any jack stands..
