    I'm in Southern Ontario and I ordered mine from Mobtown Offroad.

    Msg @mobtown-offroad The boss is away for a couple days on a honeymoon buy joeybro I think the members name is here can help you also.

    DOM tubing is standard with them, their bolt on sliders boxes the frame at the front and wraps and clamps the frame at the back. Stongest bolt-ons that do not require drilling the frame. There is a reason they can't make them fast enough for people.

    ** I have not done any Finite Element Analysis on them nor even pulled out my old textbooks and slide rule, but I'd put $$ on that they were as strong as, or stronger than weld on sliders!

    Having an automotive engineering background I of course wondered by eye-balling them after install that if I added one more bolt in a certain spot by drilling, they would definitely be stronger than any weld on, to test my theory we put the truck up on a hoist by lifting it by the sliders. It's an older hydraulic hoist so you can lower and stop "pretty fast".
    Did a couple quick tests and you could see that the majority of any deflection was caused by the truck's frame and not from the sliders attachment points. Never put in that extra bolt. Would need a stronger truck for it.

    But without measurements, videos and some slider ruler results I'll just leave it as the sentence above this paragraph with the **.

    I should have video'd it, but was all caught up in the crazyness of this test and even then I only did it a couple times as I was worried the hoist would slip off the slider.

    They did all the customs paperwork, pre-paid the duties and arranged for their own carrier to deliver them to me. I think all the border fees was something like 97$ and shipping was somewhere around $200.

    He's a tip; a lot of these trucking companies, if you don't have a lift truck on site will charge you extra if they have to use the ramp. I.e. costs extra for residential delivery.

    If you want it delivered to your house if you don't have a commercial address to deliver to.
    Have it delivered to your house and DON'T let the driver use the ramp.
    Have the driver move the palate to the back of the truck,
    check your parts over that they are undamaged.
    Sign for them.
    Then either cut the shinkwrap and hand balm the parts down to your buddy, or take them off the truck one by one by yourself.
    Easy peasy.
    BTW the cardboard box with all the hardware is bolted to the pallet with some plywood. You'll understand what I mean if you try and pick it up quickly thinking that it was just being held there with tape and shrink-wrap. These guys "engineered" everything LoL.

    Or if you got them without paint. just tie a rope to them and tie it to your truck, and drag em off the trailer.
    Lol, may make a hell of a bang but you are not going to damage those sliders doing it that way.
    Put down some old tires or wood if you're worried about damaging your driveway.
