That's a great idea to support the sliders. I like it, a lot.

Just out of curiosity, how much are u selling them for?

mounting is 4 tubes welded to the frame, with the front and rear tube being attached to the pinch seam with welded on tabs.

I have plans to do something, but I just can't decide what exactly I want to do. I've been stuck on trying to decide between a dimpled died plate, a piece of tube, or both. Thats why its just rattle canned for right now, instead of rhino lined.
