    ...Does not explain the flex along the length of tubing, nor the lack of gussets.

    I'll continue to take my chances with ATO.

    Oh don't get me wrong I'm not defending all poo at all, and I'm not saying buy there products, I'm just saying that might explain some of the bending of the sliders toward the body of the truck.

    Yeah it could account for some of the flex towards the pinch weld.

    Like they are some of the worst welds I have seen, like I taught my self how to weld and I could have done better welds. And the worst part Jamie said an off road shop in fayetteville welded them on for him :/

    I just hope he doesn't break one off into his rocker panel on some trip before he gets a chance to replace 'em...

    Some can be attributed to welds and some to the sliders. They did the same on my 07 and a different place put them on.

    Not really. Do the cheap useful stuff. D-rings in the bed. Relocate your diff breather. Black headlight mod. All of these can be done for less than $20.
