Rock Sliders Write-up

I ordered a set last night!

 

Pics of the finished product! A little dirty since it has rained the last couple days.

 

have you noticed any better handling of the truck?

 

Is that a serious question? I had no idea these things would possibly increase the handling. I do know that if I get side swiped I have a nice roll bar across to protect me now.

 

My phone number lol. I have it on there for business.

 

So you trust the rest of the world with your number but not your TW brothers? nice.... very nice!

 

Haha well technically its not the rest of the world... it would be my area that I live in .. TW would be the rest of the world! Haha jk

 

Slim, those look great. I can't wait till mine come in. They look good on the white.

 

if it stiffens up the frame of the car it should improve handling, so yes, i was serious lot of people put sub frames (basically a rock slider under the car you cant see) to stiffen up the body of sports cars.

 

slim, where in socal are you located?

 

That will be a cool benefit

So did it

 

good job

 

I did not know that... I haven't noticed any difference but if it did I doubt I would notice. I barely notice my 5100's vs. the black stock shocks lol. Well kinda.....

San Diego area

Yea if it did I guess it would just be an added bonus!

 

Those look bad ass slim!

 

Thank you thank you

 

Nice write up. The sliders look great. So the bedliner withstood jacking the truck by the slider?

 

some do...however, ground clearance can sometimes be a problem in low cars.

on my transam i only tied the front to the back. with the t-bar roof it really stiffened it up. i could jack up the car from the front corner and have the other 3 tires on the ground from the body flex. once i put the subframes on it would lift the entire side of the car from the front corner. any type of body stiffening is usually a good thing.

 

I did notice one negative side effect that I'm still trying to figure out if it's from the sliders... When driving on rough road or hit a pothole I hear a clunk in the cab and it sounds from under me and sometimes feel it under my feet. I'm guessing it's the sliders hitting the cab where the metal is bent at a 90 degree angle downwards. The sliders in some spots are very close to this and couple spots touching. I plan to bend that metal flat so there is a bigger gap. What's your opinion on that being the sound I'm hearing when my truck flexs over bumps.
