I cant wait! I'm a little skeptical as far as welding them to the frame in what 2 spots? Seems like bolt-in's would be stronger no?  ???

No, weld on sliders are a lot stronger than bolt ons. It's basically of an extension of the frame, when the sliders are welded on.
I love it when a plan comes together

I had bolt on NXRocks sliders and was very happy with them.  But...the moved slightly, maybe only a 1/4 of an inch, but it was enough to bend the pinch weld in the body on my Xterra.

Went with the weld on AOE's as well.  Ray (HEVAK) can attest when we were out at Azusa...welded sliders don't move AT ALL.  :)

Ghost X, I'm a believer in these sliders. They are solid!!! For some reason I thought they would be welded just at the 2 square tubes, but they actually weld those onto larger square plates, then flush weld them onto the frame. 150% recommended to those without.
