Which of these sliders to weld on?

Really REALLY liking the angle of this setup!

 

i was thinking at least 3-4" off, the legs are quite long. Ill use the floor jacks as well

 

those are nice, I do want to be able to use as a step as well, just not my whole foot

 

Yeah, they are just under 12".

 

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. Like em at w a good amount of angle and as close as to the body I can get w/out interfering with the cab body

 

Just holding them up with jack stands, ill be taking about 4.5" off leg length

 

Ha! Just realized we have the same name. Anyways, I mocked mine up and it seems like I'll be taking around 6" off. Not 100% sure though. Here's some pics. A little tight to body so might cut 5".
When are you planning on doing yours? Can't wait to see pics!!

 

Looks good there! Wanted to prep and paint today but it was a bit cold and rainy. Hoping to get them installed later this week

 

Yea, weather plays a big factor when painting. Since we're mounting them close to the body, it's def a good idea to paint before installed on the truck. It'd be a pain to paint once they're on the truck. Might mount them off center. Liking that way (see pic) also how much clearance when u open the doors? Mines at .5" lol. Super tight! Again gonna make a few adjustments and gap everything accordingly.

 

.5" is close! Not sure of angle yet, but you're probably not far off

 

Yes it is might drop it some more

 

I recommend more clearance 0.75"-1"
Mud, ice, snow, etc. can accumulate on the sliders impeding opening or closing the doors.
ALSO, make sure you have enough clearance between the sliders and the rocker panels to allow for body & frame flexing. Otherwise, they will bang together until they self 'clearance' - that's what happened when we put them on my brothers Taco.
Good luck!

 

Thx for the advice and good points. I will do an inch from doors and take body roll into consideration.

 

I finally got some pictures of how mine are welded to the frame. But they're not the TG sliders you guys purchased. They're the ones I showed you in Post 3. Still perfectly happy with them.

 

Looks good!! Thx for posting. All I know is, it's gonna be A LOT of welding for my poor brother. Hahaha
Man I can't wait to install mine!

 

@49erfan Did you get the sliders installed yet? Should be putting mine on this Saturday if all goes well!

 

Got installed today but havent taken pics. Cut 4" off legs, shouldve cut closer to 5". Have to finish painting. Ill take pics tomorrow

 

Awesome!!!! Looking forward to seeing them! Take a few pics at different angles if you dont mind. Just so it gives me example of were I should cut mine. What did you choose to paint them with?

 

Self etching primer followed with Rustoleum bedliner spray paint

 

Um.....it's tomorrow LOL! I'm gonna be using these.....
