ShrockWorks Sliders and Budbuilt Skid Package -- Will they work together?

Ok, with regards to my earlier post I think I am leaning towards the Shrockworks sliders, my question -- is anybody running these sliders with the BudBuilt skid package? Are they compatible? Since the skid package will use the frame rails to attach (assuming by some pics) will there be interference with where the sliders attach to the rails. Yes, I know...go with weld-on and it won't be an issue, but I am kinda set on this combo provided it works without issue.

The BB skids bolt on from the radiator-the control arm brace-the steering rack- and finally to the two frame cross braces. The skids will be ~5"-6" from the side frame rails. There is almost no way that the two will interfere with each other.

Shrockworks makes great stuff but I would go with 3 tube supports. The frame will actually be the weak point. Three spreads out the force. There aren't any pictures of how they mount. Do you know?

2nd that. My local shop convinced me out of shrockworks a long time ago. Said the same thing and also said it would cost me a lot more to have him BOLT them on instead of getting a set and WELDING them on. Said it's a major pain to drill through the frame and that it usually takes him a couple expensive bits to get the job done as well as a lot more time. I would have never guess but if you're set in stone, it's your choice.
