Looking for some slider installation help

[R4nnerR4nner]

Anyone installed their own sliders? My Shrockworks finally arrived, and I'm feeling a little out of my league. The instructions make it seem pretty simple, but I've never really worked on my own car before. Tips, or anyone willing to lend a hand?

Where are you located?

When I put my Shrockworks sliders on myself, I used the necessary tools, my body, and a bucket to support and install the sliders. If I can do it, you can bud. I simply followed the instructions and it took me a few hours. Once you get a bolt on each side, it gets easier.

Congrats.

The passenger side is really easy. It's better to have a pair of jack stands to put the sliders on them so it will make your day easier in lifting them up. A floor jack will make your job even easier.
The passenger side goes up really easy. I think there is only one wire bracket or something like that that you need to remove. The difficult side is the driver side where you have to unbolt your gas tank skid plate and disconnect the KDSS mounts. A second pair of hands will be very useful for the driver's side.

It took around 30 minutes for the passenger's to put it up but about 3 hours for the driver's side. I was working alone though.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to wrangle a buddy to help me, as hopefully it will go quicker. If anyone is in the Irvine/Newport Beach/Costa Mesa next weekend, let me know!

It wasn't that bad.

Hoping to get your help with something, I made a post in the 5th gen section with a pic.

As you can see in the picture, the bracket to the right of the gusset blocks the hole by about 75%. Did you encounter anything similar?

Didn't see your post before, I wish I did, as that is the only thing I have done with my own 2 hands.

I work in Orange near the 22/55, if you want to meet up sometime during the day, I can sneak a peak under your truck.

The pictures you posted aren't too clear. Let me know what your availability is.
