    Dang! Sorry, man. It seems like you could modify them with a drill and a cutoff wheel. Line up the front leg with the crossmember and work your way back.

    It's mostly an aesthetic choice, I think. I started about mid back door (AC). Do what you think looks cool. There are unlimited possible scenarios where you could smash your truck on something and you'll never guard against them all.

    this is where I’m at so far. Just need to do the other side.
    I made my own dimple die set. Because someone bumped there head and wants an arm and leg for them.

    Thanks man! It was pretty easy to modify the plates to fit. I made my kick outs a tad big but I’m happy with it. I’m welding everything as we speak and doing some modifications. How did you guys truss yours?

    By truss, do you mean the arms that reach from the frame to the slider?

    Not quite. I’m going to ad some triangles to the square tube on the frame plates. So that when using a high jack the sliders don’t flex at all. I built them pretty tight tolerance

    Oh, yeah, those. I did something like 2" triangles. There's not a ton of clearance above the arms for trusses but you should definitely add some.

    Dimpling makes them lighter and stronger. Cutting lightening holes make the plate oil can like... Good job!
