TurboJoe spring slider brackets, before/after a little modding.

Everything is bolted in, bed is back on....I'll get pics, I was in a hurry.
TurboJoes brackets made this to f'n easy, his instructions were spot on, template was perfect...I'd still be crying had he not offered to help.
All I need to do is put the battery in the bed, toss in 40 lbs of weight to simulate 5 gallons of gas, disconect the shocks and bounce it to settle things out, locate the sliders on his brackets....And Weeeeeee !

Yes....They replace the shackles, make the leafs move smoother...With the shocks off I can damn near get the rear end to bounce off the ground.

Dave can you post pics of how you mounted these , outside frame Rail pic , I'm on board with Joe to get a set of these , do I have to remove the bed ? Also, I'm running 50/50 competition engineering drag shocks mounted in stock position is this going to matter ?
I'll post better pics, you don't have to remove the bed, but it sure makes it easier unless you have a lift, I can't comment on the stock shock set up, but I'd relocate em if you're serious.

In addition to what Dave said:
I did mine with bed on, however I had already removed rivets and bolted stock rear leaf/shackle mounts back on with bolts when I removed the spare tire carrier and did the fuel cell mod previously. Removing the rivets and stock mounts with bed on would for sure be more difficult however not necessary.
As for the shocks, if you are at stock height might be OK although not optimum. If lowered, it lays the shocks down to much for them to be able to control the rear end very well at all. Shocks and shock setup more important than sliders but the sliders "allow" the shocks to do their job better.
