Question Shrockworks Slider Install Question

I am in the process of installing the sliders. The parts list includes two mid-leg spacers. Neither the Projeck-JK write-up or the enclosed directions discuss using them. I have noticed that there is a slight gap (spacers would fit) between both mid-legs and the driver's side rear-leg (four dour).

The spacers don't seem to have anything that will secure them in place to ensure the sliders are in contact with the frame.

Anyone have any experience or quick answers to this one???

Appreciate the help.

hold them in place and slide bolt through pretty simple

then when the bolts are pretty tight push it into its correct aligned position

if you want to hold it in place, put heavy duty grease on it and stick it onto the slide end it will hold in place

Question Okay

That's about what I figured. Thanks for the quick response.

Now, how do you thread the tabbed nut into the rail to receive the 1/2" bolt for the upper hole on the rear-leg on the driver's side.

See the pencil mark on the side of the frame in the picture below:

you fish it through the hole its not easy but it can be done in no time if you mold the welded metal tail in the right way

Yup. What he said. My father-in-law and I installed my set. We ended up fabricating our own inserts because I left the Shrockworks inserts at home.

This is a serious pain in the @$$... Ended up not installing the last bolt. I figure that there are 6 bolts each side: 2 Grade 8 and 4 Grade 5, so I think I can go without the last bolt. And if it should become required, then I'll just weld it.

Again... what he said.

Let us know if you have an issue getting that last side bolt done...there is supposed to be a longer stick nut for that one...We have been in the midst of small changes with these and some people are not getting these.

I'm going to go after the driver's side today after work (ran out of light yesterday). I'll let you know...

Thanks for the AWESOME support! FYI - I'm saving for my Shrockworks mid-width bumper and winch!! Love the rails!!
