haha those kind of alignment errors are not the fault of a few thousands of powder coat. That's a straight up crappy CAD drawing not being field tested.
Just letting you know what I was told. If they claim all their components were test fitted prior to being shipped out for powder coating, and now they don’t fit, who am I to call them liars?
My sliders arrived today and i got them installed. For what it's worth I didn't have any issues aligning the bolt holes. Love the look!

They look awesome! Glad to hear everything lined up nicely. Have you noticed the added weight in the feel of the truck while driving? It's been long enough now that I don't think it's noticeable at all for me.

I actually did notice it (or maybe I convinced myself it feels different ha). Hopefully I stop paying attention to it.

For those who bought this, how was the delivery hand off to you? From what i can tell, they come wrapped on top a large pallet. Did it come in a freight truck and they unloaded with a forklift? Is it moveable by just one person with a hand truck or dolly?

I'm looking to get this but I live in an residential apartment building. I'm trying to plan the logistics of delivery. I want to install this myself in the building's garage but if that's not possible, I'll need to plan for getting it professionally installed.

That's a really good question. I wasn't home when it was delivered, but yes, it comes on a large pallet, and it is heavy. You'd be able to move it by hand if you had to, but it's definitely pretty heavy (200>x>160 lbs, I think), and I'm sure you could use a dolly to make moving it easier or just pick up one end of the pallet and drag it fireman style lol. If you know someone with a driveway that you trust, I'd use their address for delivery, unbox it, and then drive to wherever you want to install it. The pallet is large, so you may need to consider handling the disposal of that as well. Your apartment might have delivery instructions for large packages too. I'd start with asking the apartment complex admin and then maybe call Cali Raised to see if they can accommodate your needs. Good luck!
