Default Lod silder question

Trying to install my sliders and it says they should be straight. But it seems they slope towards the rear of the vehicle. Someone help ASAP. Or is that how they were.

There should have been some thick spacers to use to balance everything out in hardware kit. Did you use that? (Looks like a giant washer)

I used washers to level it out before my lift. Know I actually have a long arm lift that would not allow use of the designed install. So I cut and welded to the frame.

they will sit differently depending on whether or not you have them mounting above or below the skid plate mounts on the frame rails.
