So you just welded them to the frame? not extra plate in between? Have any issues so far?
I just used some thick angle iron to wrap around the frame for a lil extra support between the tubes and frame
I think Im going to go with this route, It seems a lot easier than cutting the diamonds out of steel and everything. This way I can still weld on the upper gussets too. Thanks man!
If you mean a gusset from the top of the slider to the frame, it isn't needed, you will never put enough downward force on them to be an issue.
What about after you flip your truck and use the sliders as an attachment point to put the truck right side up?
If you don't have an exo-cage, I think bending your sliders is going to be the least of your concerns. Kidding aside, I would think the frame or welds would give before you could put enough leverage to bend a 4-5" section of 1.5-2" x .125 or thicker tube.
Mine bent? With gussets....not a large amount, but enough for me to notice. No cracks on the welds, just bent. Enough force of Mother Nature and gravity will do things beyond beliefs lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
