Sliders and Shackles from 4Crawler showed up today, Thanks Roger! I think UPS wrestled with em or something cause the box was destroyed! Parts were fine though. UPS forgot to pick em up from Seattle so took an extra 4 days to get em. Means I won't get to install them until I get back from sea in early may. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> Anyways, I'll take some pictures to drool over while I'm gone.

Looks good! Mine should be shipping soon. Looks like you went with a 1" rear kickout. Do you have your wheels set out or are your tires wider than 10.5"?

Glad they finally made it to you. Yes, UPS can sure do a number on the box, even double boxed and all. Considering the slider's intended use, not really a big deal I suppose. A few times I have had them want to return the box sice it was damaged, but that is why I put the recipient on e-mail alert for any shipping "Exceptions". That way you can go down and inspect the shipment and pick it up anyway instead of having them returned sight unseen.

I currently only have 31 x 10.5 on the truck. I"ve been toying with the idea of spacers to widen the track, a few times it's felt like I've been very close to going over. Regardless, my next set of tires will be at least 33's, so I figured I"d go with the 1" kickout. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

You can either do the wheel spacers or swap to an '86/later rear axle, 3" wider and bigger brakes. Bolts right up.
