Rockers and Cab Supports

Hey guys,
I am about ready to do my outer rockers and under cab supports. Is there a specific order i should do them in or any tricks that i should know? This is my first time doing these but not my first time welding so it should be a fun experience lol.

OEM always! Slip-ons only hide the problems and when the problem surfaces again, a lot of times it is too late to fix. WES

Re: Rockers and Cab Supports

Do the rockers with the door installed. Use the door as your gauge for proper (front to back) fitment
