Lame guess I'm the last one to install them.. Sigh

I haven't had time to even paint mine yet, so you're still in the lead

Looking good Beedee!

Paint comes in clutch. Ima try and put them on tomorrow. Key word is try. I blame work if I can't!!

I am shooting for my install tonight as I plan on off roading 4th of July weekend.

Thinking about purchasing these too. Couple of questions: did you guys order HREW or DOM? I have about a 2 inch suspension lift. Should I go with the 2 inch body lift option for the sliders? Thanks!

All of us went with DOM, as it is 75% stronger (fact given to me from John at White Knuckle). If you have a suspension lift, you would go with the regular sliders, if you had a body lift, you would go with the body lift option.

Thanks! I'm going with what you say then!

I haven't put mine but I ordered without a lift even tho I have one. after talking to the staff they said wouldn't make much of a difference besides extend a bit more to be closer to the body. My thought was gives it more space to avoid hitting the body, I just went with no lift. and DOM tubing

What you say makes sense. Good thinking.

BLUHAMR: just a little clarification when ordering sliders, when they ask you if you have a lift, they only care if you have a body lift, not suspension lift.  if you order a set of sliders for a 2" body lift, and you only have a suspension lift, the will not fit...  You stated you only have a 2" suspension lift so DON'T order sliders for a 2" Body lift.

Valentin36, from looking at your build and randomly seeing your xterra, you do not have a body lift, unless it is not listed on your page and I missed your jacked up xterra.  A body lift consists of putting 2" blocks under all 10 or so body mounts and lifts ONLY the body 2" above the frame and suspension.  A suspension lift, whether it be spacers, replacement springs/coilovers and/or shackles will lift the entire truck but leaves the distance between the body and frame the same as stock.   

Since the sliders attach to the frame, but are there to protect the body, the welder needs to know if you have changed the distance from the frame to the body, hence the question if you have a body lift or not.  It is true, if you do in fact have a body lift, you can install non body lift sliders, you will just have 2" of extra space between the sliders and the body, but the reverse is not true, sliders built for a body lift will not fit a vehicle without a body lift. 

I'm glad you decided to not order your sliders for a body lift because I wouldn't want you to be disappointed when they didn't fit.

Why did you remove your body lift? Where did you purchase?
