Not sure who makes them (maybe shrockworks) but they will install using the existing skid plate bolts along the bottom of your frame. you'll need to drill and tap the holes along the side of the frame rail. It's really not very hard to do, just make sure you have someone to help you hold them in place as you bolt them up.

+1 I found using jack stands to help keep them in place made it easier.

Those definitely have the looks of the shrockworks sliders, you are very lucky to have come across those. Used price is much more reasonable

Get some strong self tapping hardware and throw those things on

Does anyone recall what the bolt size is?

Wouldn’t welding to the frame cause a stress point in the frame? I was always told never to weld to the frame do to this?
