I just recently had a friend help me to get my evo sliders welded on. I now realize that I should have read and researched a bit more before purchasing these and welding them up.
First off, the long arm kit I have utilizes brackets for the rears on the frame rails. I now know I could have ordered direct from Evo and got sliders with the third arm sent un-welded from the body of the slider so I could position them to fit. I also now know that I should have read the install directions closer as I missed the part about needing a half inch gap between the slider and pinch seam.
Mistakes were made and the pinch seam basically rests right against the sliders. I realized my error the second I went driving down the road and could feel every bump in the road. Obviously I need to correct this, so short of going through the pain in the ass of removing the sliders, I was wondering if it's possible to just notch out the pinch seam around the arms on the sliders? Is the pinch seam strong enough for me to do this? Any help or direction that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
