Rocksliders without bodylift
It doesnt work... lol
I was gonna attempt to weld my rock sliders on today, and I dont have a body lift. The problem was that i dont have enough frame to work with.
The body sits too dang low on the frame for me to weld the forward most mount level.
I need some ideas on how to make this work . Anyone with rock sliders on a truck without a body lift, could you please post pics of how you mounted your sliders?

Get some longer legs that go to the frame and bend them.

Yeah i have the trailgear 78" HREW ones. They seem PLENTY strong by the way. The frame will fail before these suckers, so Im not regreating going with the cheaper HREW tubing over the DOM.
Yeah, looks like Ill have to have the front mounts bent slightly to make them work. The frame rear of the door handles is plenty low, its just the front that is too high so Ill only have to bend 2 of the tubes...
I was also considering making a bracket to weld to the frame so I can get a lower mounting point, what do you guys think about that? or is bending the way to go?

**I like this idea and thought of it myself, just wasnt sure if I should have the tube sitting flush on the frame or not
