Shrockworks slider install issue

First off they where worth the wait. Very nice sliders. Was going to install them today and ran into an issue on the passenger side.

This is with me and my friend holding the slider so that the mounting holes and holes in the side of the frame are lined up. Problem is the rear lines up but the front sits to low (cannot get a bolt started) and vice versa if we line up the front holes the rear is off. Lining up the crossmember mounting plate knocks everything out of whack. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks guys!

I'll see if I can explain this well enough.

Put the bottom bolts on first. But just a couple threads. This should leave plenty of slack for the ones in the side of the frame. Thread the ones on the side of the frame on at this point. Slowly start going from bolt to bolt as if you were tightening lug nuts. Ultimately, you'll want to crank down on the bottom bolt last. This will pull the bracket towards the frame.

Bad thing is the bend in the crossmember mounting plate does not even match the driver side which fit perfect when we ran into this issue(did a test fit). I have to drill a hole in the cross member for the lower mount since there is no hole on the passenger side. I will try your recommendation. Hopefully it will pull the lower mount enough so I can get it flush and drill my mounting hole.

I completely had my post worded wrong. Sorry about that. Long day of trying to figure something out and chasing my 2 year old son. I edited the post. Thank you for the help!

I had some similar install issues with holes lining up. In the end it worked out. Post here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/143743-shrockworks-rock-slider-install-instructions.html
