ROCK SLIDER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Using jack stands, place sliders at desired position on vehicle.  Center bars front to rear between wheel openings.  Tilt bars up approximately 15 degrees using an angle finder, but make sure that both doors will open without hitting the bars.

2. Cut legs to fit between frame and bars.  Cut front leg tube on each side at an angle to match frame.  Center and rear legs can all be cut straight.

3. Maintain a 3/8" to 1/2" gap (at least a finger width depending on how fat your fingers are) between the pinch weld and the sliders to use the pinch weld for strength when the sliders flex under load.  We do not recommend cutting the pinch weld to fit sliders, as it is unnecessary, and only causes other unneeded issues.

4. Tack weld notched end of legs to sliders.  Remove sliders and fully weld legs to bars.

5. Place fully welded bars onto jack stands.  Weld bars directly to frame.  We recommend using diamond shape scab plates welded to the frame and then welding the sliders to the scab plates.  Make sure to maintain 3/8" to 1/2" gap between pinch weld and sliders.

6. Cover lower body with aluminum foil.  Clean bars with degreasing fluid.  Paint and primer as desired.
