New Rock Sliders - Shrockworks

I got halfway this morning. Had to run a bunch of errands mid day. I’m back on it now. I can’t figure out how to get the stick nuts in the rear. I don’t have the two holes blaylock had. The stick nuts barely won’t fit through the big hole.

Well that's not good.

EDIT...neither do I:

Do you guys have that big hole next to the upper control arm mount on the right side, or is the gas tank in the way?

All done with the passenger side. If you grind down the nut part of the stick nut a little it will fit through the bigger hole. It barely reaches. So both sides done and I did not have to remove either control arm or gas tank. Still not a very fun install. I think just welding them on would be the best option.

I’m very happy with the sliders. Very nice units.

Gas tank is in the way.

Looking great! Looking at the timestamp of your last post, it took you about an hour and a half for those two bolts. Ugh.

Thanks for reporting back though. I went into the garage and started to snoop around, and the only other option I see is the upper control arm mount area like on the driver's side where there is a window into the framerail in there, but you then have to deal with the gas tank/skid plate that would inhibit the ability to work the stick end of the stick nuts. I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do since I don't have a grinder.

Yeah, I really don't think it's too viable either, but I still posted it as a possible option. Glad you got yours to work.

@Blaylock1988 this is slightly of topic here, but did you take the wheels off to get the shock skids installed?

I got the Valkyrie ones and no I didnt need to take the wheels off. I just had to remove the lower shock bolt. Jacking the frame up to a sweet spot made the bolt slide in and out by hand (after loosening)

Ok, I have a two foot breaker bar that I'm going to be using to get the nut off that bolt, so I'm hoping that works.

Do they have a discount code for B6Gby chance? Received my build date last week and looking to order some tonight or tomorrow and every little bit helps!

I emailed them the other day and they said no discount, manufacturing costs are through the roof, 3-5 week lead time

Thanks for the quick reply, and that is fair, just figured I would ask prior!

How they look with other upgrades.

What size tires are those? Looks great.

37s. I did the RPG shock spacers and 3/4” wheel spacers to make it all clear. Added the ford performance bead lock rings as well.
