Writing the install guide and pics.
Your going to want to put the rails on a jack to get it lined up.
Note: if yours are powder coated you might not want to put to much of the jeeps weight on them while being supported from underneath. Diffidently use something to protect the coating while putting them in place or jacking them into place.
Jack the sliders in place and triple check it's location. Make sure it's not to far forward or to far to the rear. Once your happy jack the Jeep up some like this to apply pressure to the rails and make room for the jack stands. This step is not necessary though you can mark your holes for drilling at this point if you so wish.
Set the jack stands under the sliders then lower the jeep onto the sliders so that the jeep is being held up by the sliders. This spreads the weight and pressure out across the sliders ensuring they are tight and in place.
Now take a paint marker and mark your holes.
Now take a sharp center punch at tape the center of your hole. This will help keep your drill bit from dancing around.
Now take a smaller bit then the 9/16 bit for the nutsert and drill your smaller hole. This will also help keep your larger bit from dancing around and ensure accuracy.
Now take the 9/16 drill bit and drill your final holes. Use steady and easy pressure do not force the bit this will bend the thin metal and may cause the nutsert not to seat properly. I recommend you just buy a new bit for this so it's sharp and little pressure will be needed to get threw.
Clean up your holes and make sure no metal shavings are left behind to interfere with the nutsert seating.
