    best wheel bearings around! www.marionbumper2bumper.com
    Not sure yet. I used one of my lifts at my shop, and I still had no rub, but I am unable to get a full stuff at that angle. Going wheeling soon so I will find out then!

    Thanks for the info. I was curious so that I could just build up the information.

    When my sliders were welded on I kept checking the pinch welds because it was getting very close. I ended up leaving them alone and the legs of the slider barely barely touch. After having them on for several months and getting good use out of the sliders, I've checked and have the slightest bend on the front of the driver side pinch weld. I think you'll be fine leaving them alone, I don't think the sliders will flex that much to do any damage.
