Unfortunately I didn’t get them installed this weekend like I wanted, just not enough days in the week.

I did manage to wrestle them out of that behemoth of a box though! These suckers are HEAVY. Weighed in at 82 lbs each!

Damn!
 
Where did you find the spec? I don't see them on that image or on their website. 4WP says 140lbs combined but that wasn't the case when I weighed mine. Makes me wonder how many of these manufacturers bluff their weights.

Compared to similarly built sliders from Victory 4x4, these are actually lighter! The full plating definitely makes them heavier.. But hey, they should be that much stronger too, right? Haha.

Oh, no - I meant that's the weight of the ones I have on my truck. Mine aren't 4WP.

Sorry, bad sentence structure in that post. I was asking where you found the spec for yours and then just following up with what 4WP quotes on theirs!

We make an aluminum boat version with steel supports that weigh 55lbs a side if someone is looking for max weight savings. The steel will always be stronger though (y)

Nice work capitalizing on the PR ;)

I didn't know you made a version like that. I'll have to go check your site and take a look around! Prior to getting these i was still 100% undecided on sliders. :LOL:

I didn't really want to jump into 4 Wheel Parts' thread, but I did want to say we do offer 55lb sliders. I stopped short of posting the link :ROFLMAO:

Oh yeah! I've been all over their page already. I just somehow missed the steel/aluminum hybrid sliders!
