My passenger side front m10 bolts don’t line up, I got everything loose and there’s no play

Is had 1 that was off about 1/8 of an inch. Mark the area that is off, pull all the bolts except 1 at the opposite end let the slider down get a step bit to drill it out.

I see what you mean now, I was able to wrangle it some more and yep, passenger bottom rear

Yep mine was also passenger bottom rear. I sent RCI an email but apparently they haven’t corrected it?

I should have painted the heads of the bolts and washer black before installing… They stick out like a sore thumb!

Why did I break out that wide plastic clip? It’s specifically pointed out in the instructions but the slider goes completely around it?

@MT-Taco When you mention painting the bolt heads and washers do you mean the bolts that hold the tread on?

From what you and @Dagr Wolff found I guess I should be prepared to adjust that bolt location. Did you drill out the hole on the slider? I wouldn't want to drill the truck frame if it can be avoided.

@Dagr Wolff Will it be obvious what to do with the plastic clip? I assume RCI tells you to break that out, but that it isn't necessary?

Mine should be 2-4 weeks away still and it is good to hear about issues installing these sliders.
