I see
Well, unless the sliders are hitting objects in a big way, which I have avoided to date (no Rubicon rock crawling for me), dynamic stress will be nil, I would think.
Jacking up or lifting the SMB using the slider would be a way to create a lot of dynamic stress, I guess. The fabricator told me it's such a strong bond that an additional benefit is I could jack up my van on the sliders if I wanted to. Of course, that is not why I put them on so that was not the requirement when he designed/installed them ....
I think everything is 1/4 inch plate steel.
This fabricator/installer specializes in building and/or modifying off-road vehicles, show cars, fabricating any part no longer made or available, among other things. He told me this is the way he would do it.
