I just checked em out and it seems after welding, the boxes have bowed out an 1/8 in. at the bottom causing a slight bind on the bearings so back to the grind....
Tack them good then run short hot welds about 1/2" to max 1"... let it cool before hitting the next spot

You'll like them. The rise is reduced quite a bit. I use never-sieze on the tracks once on a while on mine.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

I have a set of sliders that I bought from Alex Denysenko at www.moneymakerracing.net and I intend to use them on the Ramcharger. I have a large piece of square tubing that I will attach to the frame as a crossmember. The sliders will fit nicely on the bottom and the down tubes from the roll cage will attach at the top. I did the axle flip and have the Dana 60 above the springs with some long "Chevy" shackles and I don't like that (I don't think it is stable enough at the hit). I will post some pictures when I am done with it.
