Yes I know. It raises the body. I am trying very hard to not get "frustrated"



Thats pretty darn nifty!

I know it will be much easier to mount sliders with a 1 inch BL, because the frame is lower down (EDIT FOR A CERTAIN SOMEONE: when compared to the body as compared to before BL) so tube can just be welded right to it easily.

Why did you make bolt on ones and not weld on ones? Ease of replacement?


Is that better?

That is one of the reasons. This is the third set of sliders I have had in 12 years. The other reason is I suck at overhead and vertical welding.
