    Amen to that. I REALLY want some BAMF sliders, but shipping from California to Virginia is going to be a "no vasoline" situation.

    First thing I purchased from them was the LCA skids. Those things are stout!

    I had a set of weld on ones a little over a year ago that I had found on craigslist. Got them cheap then decided to buy bolt on sliders instead and sold them with the buyer still getting a good deal and me making a profit.

    I painted the center and lower grill to match my gray Sema wheels yesterday. Before and after. Really not that much difference in the picture though.

    It's the cab mount chop. Our trucks from the factory have a rather large cab mount and is close to the fender wells. With this mod you trim the cab mount and weld in new plates to allow you to run larger tires with little to no rubbing where as original ones you would rub badly. There are some write ups on here that explain it better.

    Upper control arms. GB going on right now. Ends Monday.

    Have you considered Mobtown sliders? They're in MD, so you could pick them up. Just have to pay tax instead of shipping

    anyone looking for some cheap bed rail brackets to mount hi-lift jacks or quick fists???
    Bed Rail Brackets!
    $40 shipped with hardware & painted
    $30 shipped w/o hardware & paint​

    Price if for a pair of the brackets. These are CNC plasma cut from 1/8" aluminum so they can easily hold the weight of a Hi-lift mount, these will never rust, and will be cheap to ship. They can be used to hold a hi-lift, quick fists, bike fork mounts, used as drop brackets, etc. If you are interested send me a PM and I can get you set up.

    This is the cheapest option I have seen for mounting Hi-Lifts to bed rails!

    vvvvvvvv**How to us as a Hi-Lift mount**vvvvvvvv
    After getting these I went to home depot and bought some hardware, then I drilled a hole in the center about 3" from the bottom, used some 1" carriage bolts from home depot to mount them to the bed rails. And 3" carriage bolts to hold the hi-lift. ~$10 for all the hardware. *The local home depot didnt have any wing nuts in stock for the lift so I used nuts until I can get some.

    vvvvvvvv**How to us as a Quick Fist mount**vvvvvvvv
    I used a 3/16 drill bit to drill holes in the bracket where i wanted my Quick Fists mounted. Then I used #10-32 hardware to attach the Quick Fists to the brackets.

    Any install tips and how was your alignment after? They probably won't be going on for a couple months still have to buy the rest of my suspension. Originally was going to go with 887s and 5100s but now I think I'm just going to save longer and get what I really want, Kings front and rear.
    That's great to hear! Some people make it sound if you don't get Total Chaos they're not going to work and spontaneously combust
