The new ones bolt to the pinch weld under the plastic rockers then level and drill into the uniframe for the bolts provided. You'll have to remove the plastic fasteners along the bottom of the rockers. I don't know the difference with the old style. |

They're the new ones. Marty explained how to bolt them on in an email, just was looking for a write up with some pics to reference. Not sure how I'm gonna bolt them thru the unibody but I'm sure I'll figure it out when I try. The pinch weld holes should match up, but as far as getting a bolt thru the unibody, I'm not sure how I'm gonna get the nut on the other side |

I don't remember the drill size but the bolt made its own thread. It wasn't through. |

I feel bad, I told Marty I would do an instal write up with pics and haven't gotten it done yet. The KJ instructions help but no need for the template and I do not recommend taking off the plastic rocker. I took one side off, got the rail on and was scratching my head, "Why did I have to take the plastic rocker off?". Well, I did the other side without taking it off, no problem. Here's the KJ instructions: http://rocklizardfabrications.com/instructions.htm You definitely need a buddy or maybe a pair of jacks. I did mine by myself using a fork lift. Get the pinch weld bolts fairly tight and level the slider making sure it is flush with the frame, mark the holes. From the KJ instructions When you are ready to drill the holes for the frame mounts, start with the small 1/8” drill bit to make the pilot hole to prevent bit wandering (see Illustration J). Once pilot holes are complete, use the 5/16” drill bit to finish the holes (see Illustration K). Using a 9/16” socket and socket wrench, slowly tap frame mount holes with provided 3/8” self tapping hardware (see Illustration K). Press firmly and straight into frame rail while turning self tapping bolt to ensure bolt taps as straight as possible without damaging threads. The most difficult holes to tap will be the two thickest areas with the lower control arm mounts at the front and rear mounting holes. A little motor oil or similar will make cutting easier. Cheaters may find using a 3/8”-16 hole tap to be the easiest means of cutting the threads if tapping with provided hardware becomes too difficult. Call me a cheater, I could not get the self-tapping bolts to bite, I used a tap. |
