Shrockworks 2-Door Sliders - Small Installation Problems
I started to install my 2dr sliders and ran into a couple of small problems.
1. Pass side back support was a little too far back and was getting interference from the skid plate support. I loosened all the bolts and was able to move the skid plate back a little but it is still tight so I will just grind a little off. Picture doesn't really show it well but back of the Jeep is to the left
2. Driver side bolthole in the back was not in the right spot so it was holding the slider away from the frame. It will not sit flush because of a support on the frame but it was holding it too far out. Elongated the hole to fix that.
3. Drivers back support - Once I got the hole fixed I noticed that the slider would hit the tapered part of the skid plate bar and once again push the slider away from the frame. Ground a little off of the corner of the skid.
Over all they look nice and seem very strong, now I just need to take the FedEx tag off and paint them.

I was just going to put a couple of large washers in between the rail and the frame to cover the small gap. I understand that there will be some differences it is not a big deal, just wanted to let folks know what may come up and how I got around it.
