So Im taking off my body lift, since I pretty much crap my pants whenever I go wheeling.
I want to keep the sliders, but, obviously with the body lift going down, I'll have to do something.
1) I can try to bend them downwards
2) Cut off, reweld them
3) Take them off for good.
Problem w/ #2 is that I have 4"x4" brace plates that were welded to the frame. I can't imagine grinding them all the way down to the frame. They are 1/4" thick...
So far I have yet to actually use the rock sliders. They are nice to have to get into the truck, and I think they are just pretty sweet in general... Noone can ding my doors, side impact crash will be safter, and if I did hit some rocks, no big deal. But, Im thinking it will be easier to just ditch them.
Also, I like the idea of having some gap inbetween the body and frame for working on the truck. I have a 1" BL sitting in a box right now, and thinking about just swapping a 1" in. If I took it down 1" I think I could just bend the suckers down a bit... but, if I took off all 2", then Id have to cut them.
Any suggestions? Thanks...
