They only come with one gusset per plate

 

I bought the 4x innovations weld ons

 

So 4 arms per side

 

@Sub-Zero by any chance do u have any pics of the install?

 

Huh? Never heard this before. Always seen the gusset welded at 12, and never seen an issue. Also welding the gusset horizontally on something that takes vertical force doesn't make sense to me at all. That gusset won't puncture through the scab plate. Maybe if you welded the leg to the frame directly that could happen, but not with a scab plate and solid frame behind it.

I was going to say, fuck drilling those holes if those are supposed to be bolt on. Then like the other guys said, the legs get welded to the scab plates, and the plates get welded to the truck.

 

Good example:

 

buy my SCS's with 285's

 

Just sent you some prices. I got a sick deal on KO2s and KM2 but I need to sell some first so I can get them in here.

 

i asked @Yamaha_TacoR1 if he does. I will take some if i cant find any

So you welded the plates straight to the frame. My in law says that weakens the frame. I ended up not doing it. instead I decided to get started on my front bumper, some ditch lights. Maybe one of y'all Wanna make some mula and help me do this.

 

Holes are most likely for welds. When you weld plates, a lot of time guys will have holes in plates to have more surface area. Stronger weld.

If you were to use the holes for bolt on. You'd need to insert sleeves inside the frame and weld them. I can guarantee the frame is to thin just for a simple bolt on solution.

I agree. Most guys weld them at 12. But it's better to weld two gussets at 10-2.

You'll be ok. Just use weld through primer, weld it and call it a day.

 

coming along

 

....i think everyone welds the plates straight to the frame, I can lift my truck by the slider and the slider and frame do not move.

 

I can help but it will be a while till I have time to do another slider install. With two welders and two ppl it wouldn't be so bad

 

Or do it like the other bolt ons with a backing plate on the other side of the frame c channel. Just bolting to the outside of the frame will lead to the frame twisting, right @stairgod?

 

Welding a plate on the frame is better and stronger because it destributes the force more evenly. With out a plate, the rock sliders can puncture through the frame like a soda can. And it flexs a lot so welding a plate is totally safe .

Also knowing how to weld is good. If u suck u can mess up the frame.

 

Like I said. Fill those holes with weld. Stronger.

 

That's wat he was saying. the frame will weaken.

 

Yep. The middle section of the frame between the crossmembers is definitely an area of flex.
