    I'm very happy with them. Jerry was a great guy to deal with. Always answered my calls and my questions. He hit the exact lead time he gave me and the sliders are very beefy.

    I think I want bolt on as well but I'm not married to that idea. Check out Famous Fabrication also. They have no-drill bolt on sliders. I don't really mind drilling the frame but it's not an easy job!

    I almost bought the beef taco slider because they have the tube that comes up to protect the bed . But they were to much money for me at the time .

    The Famous Fabs are not as strong in my opinion. Relentless is coming out with a no drill bolt on as well. But I believe that if you're going to the expense of buying sliders they ought to be strong enough to really use them. For that reason I like the ones that some holes need to be drilled. BTW, torch FTMFW.

    Yeah... That's the main reason I haven't even considered their sliders. Their wait times are a little extreme. BAMF seems to just have his guys crank out sliders whenever they start to slow down.

    You're correct, they won't be as strong as some of the others but, for most of us, they'll still be plenty strong enough. They can always be welded in place down the road also :D

    Unfortunately, I don't have access to a torch that will cut the frame. I'd just keep stepping up with bit size. I believe BAMF's bolt on kit comes with 3 drill bits to drill the frame, does it not?

    You can get the bits with the BMAF's. They are a industrial bit that you can't just buy anywhere and the three bits supposedly will last and do the job. They are not free but he sells them when you buy the sliders at the same price he pays for them.

    It looks like the BAMF will be 425.00 before shipping. That is for the bolt on ones I figure shipping will be about 100.00 maybe

    Hmmm.... so there are 3 people thinking about sliders from BAMF... I wonder if Mr. Jerry could be pursuaded into grouping the shipping :D One pallet would be perfect and probably cheaper than shipping separately.
