    My BAMF Slider arrived last week and I was thrilled. To install the sliders you normally need another person, or if doing it alone like I did, two blocks or buckets to balance while the bolts or weld is attached. While assembling I set the sliders on two 5 gallon buckets under the truck. They were the perfect height and allowed me to line everything up without supporting all the weight. I laid on the ground with a bolt and washer in one hand and a nut in the other.

    Laying on my back, as I had my face to the frame I accidentally kicked one of the the buckets and the slider began to move. Luckily I caught it before it hit me in my face. I cant imagine how badly a 100lb slider would be to the forehead. I might have 'kicked the bucket' for good.

    I want to also plug BAMF. My order was packaged well, easy to assemble, and everything was included and they were just as ordered. I made a special order to have top plates attached and powder coated and have it stand at a 0 degree angle so the kiddos could sue them as steps. I would highly recommend BAMF to anyone. Jerry was also very good to work with.
