Does anyone have the install instructions for Stubbs HD-SKO sliders?

I am mounting my Stubbs HD-SKO sliders today. I know it's not rocket surgery, but does anyone have a copy of the instructions that come with the Stubbs HD-SKO sliders?

I know it mostly comes down to finding where you are happy with them, but if there are any instructions, tips, lessons learned I would appreciate it. I have looked at a fair amount of install before and after posts.

Luckily, I don't have any cladding or fender flares. My sliders are the 7.5 degree variant. It mostly looks like a decision between notching the pinch weld or not.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, disregard the instructions request. Richard emailed the instructions, but feel free to add any of your tips or how close you decided to mount them.
 
It helps to have someone there lending a hand, or having enough jack stands / buckets at the correct height to let the sliders rest on.

I've also seen someone use a ratchet strap from the OH SH*T handle attached to slider to hold it in position.
 
I used locking c-clamps to hold it to the frame then used a mallet to make small adjustments. I didn't notch the pinch weld, and because of this, the face plates of the sliders are below the frame. Not a big deal to me. They look fine and there's more room for deflection.
 
Thanks guys. I got my friend who is a welder to help. Used combination of jack stands, c-clamps and measuring. I decided not to get up into the pinch welds. If they get bent a bit from use, so be it. But to me, it's not that big of a difference. I am stoked! Richard makes a beautiful looking stout slider. If nothing else, it will be fun to come back to vehicle being parked at work, notice a new scratch on the slider, and think of the expression on the hapless person's face as they hear a slightly different connection sound than they are used to when flinging their door open. Happy day...

But more importantly, this will give me some piece of mind to go exploring trails. Now I just need to get my Savage skids, prepped, painted and installed. Woot! I feel like things are finally coming along after a long time.

Looks great!! I never thought of them as door/body protectors when jerks fling their doors open!! Would a body lift be real difficult after the sliders? I would assume a body lift would be done prior to the sliders.
 
I mounted mine with only a 1/4 inch gap from the body. If I hit a rock hard enough but will contact the pinch weld. It's what i wanted.

Do the body lift first. Otherwise you will have a large gap and then have to cut off and reattach the sliders.
