    you weld them to your frame or make them bolt on? I am still trying to understand why Bolt on cost so much more for a plate with holes.

    Because bolt on have full plates that hug the frame nearly the entire length of the sliders. You basically have a second frame. Weld on just have frame plates that are about a 3"x4" footprint on each of the legs. Significantly more material and design work with bolt on.

    Mostly stuff I built.
    I drew up some frame plates for mine to bolt on. They also have mounts that tie into the front cab mount. The flanges on the bottom of the frame extend tears the center of the truck so that I can tie them together after I get my exhaust rerouted. Working on a skid plate system that completely covers the under belly from the front of the frame to the rear axle. The sliders will be the mounting surface fro the plate between the t-case skid and fuel tank skid. I am going to be mounting my compressor and air tank in that void hense the extra skid. Here is a shot of the frame plates during fabrication. Mine wound up with nine 1/2" grade 8 bolts attaching each slider.
