Asfir 4x4 sump guard

I've used the POS scissors jack many times with the sliders, w/o issues. It's far from ideal but it works. You can pretty much position the jack wherever you want under the Tactical sliders, just keep its head away from the outer edges as the car may shift inward a bit as you jack one side up.

I never liked Hi-Lifts much. They can be terrific with certain vehicles and applications, but with ours, even with sliders and nerf bars fitted, there is really no good way of positioning one without putting body and paintwork in grave danger.

OK, got my jack stands this morning. With the ones I got I will have to put the truck in a super extended mode and jack it up a little more to place them. It looks like my wheels will be hanging in the air. I hope I would be able to do this today.
Did you use blue removable threadlocker on the bolts? Any need for it?

Jack stand posts are shaped to embrace a frame, axle, etc. Any problem to place them under a flat surface of rock sliders? Sorry for maybe obvious to you questions but I just do not feel like taking the truck to a shop for this install and decided to do it myself.

I just got home so I'm letting the truck cool down a bit before I go down there. I'll post some pics of my gear plate issue and fix

Whoa, what kind of jack stands did you get?!? The ones I use are adjustable, and in their lowest position I have no problem fitting them under the LR4 at normal height. In extended off-road they are actually an inch or so short of reaching the sliders with their posts, but that's OK as they are supposed to be an insurance against disaster only. You can place them anywhere under the sliders.

I didn't use any Treadlocker on the bolts, although it may actually be a good idea.Gave fun you two!

I should have measure the clearance before buying them. Too late. At least my floor jack has no problems lifting the truck very high.

Problem: gear skid plate rubs

Solucion: a bit of rough love

Outcome: lost! Don't have the tools here to bend it or cut it off
