nice

that looks sweet with those on with the body trim

you have lots of clearence under there

Are you gonna do more than 2 frame tie ins? I'd put 2 more at least

and those don't look that heavy at all, I was expecting some serious beef from your prev post

the truck's lookin good

yea I said above that Im going to do at least 2 more frame tie ins. in the picture they weigh about 55 pounds each. (my initial 100 pound weight guesstimate was off, dustin thought I said 3/8th wall, but its 3/16th) with 2 more frame tie ins and gusseting and end caps they should be pretty heavy.

with 3 legs(soon to be a 4th) and capped off, mine were only about 55-60 lbs. ended up being fairly lighter than i thought they would. yours are pretty much the same as mine. its never as heavy as you think its gonna be. looks good man!

I already swapped to 5 lug. Those are just straight up spacers not adapters.

It rained all day, but I was able to work in the garage for a little while. I got all 8 legs for my sliders cut with my bandsaw and one of the sliders is capped on the ends, the other caps are cut just not welded on yet.

One slider is all done. Not welded to the truck yet as I dont have my frame plates made yet. But its capped and has all 4 legs welded to it.
