Ike, I think what TeA is saying is that the tanks hang lower than the sliders.

unclear, obviously you need a skid plate if you are going to see rocks, not sure what that has to do with sliders though. The best solution is a custom tank with a 3/16 bottom.
After the description of that accident, my thinking for the sliders was to add custom sliders/side impact beams.Originally Posted by leafsprung
If you added half inch thick T-beams right where your side skirts should go, welded that to some more heavy steel that is mounted to the frame rails and then added similar thickness steel to cover the tank bottoms, well then getting side swiped might not be such a worry. Although, I'd pity you if you ever had to remove the tanks.
There has to be some sort of middle ground in there some where.

Cheers!
