Frame stiffeners and rock sliders


Recommended Posts

You need to define what you're doing with the truck, what has been done to it as far as mods, and what you intend to do in the future as far as usage and mods.

 

You don't normally need frame stiffeners.  They might be a good idea depending on usage.

 

When I had rock sliders I welded them on.  Just two fairly large plates (probably about  4"x4"x.188" thick) that went on the side of the uniframe with rosette welds and stitch welds around them.  I would probably not weld it that way again, but the basic concept was fine.  Self tapping screws, threaded inserts, and bolted through sleeves are other common methods of doing it.
