Theres no difference in threading a bolt in the frame and threading a screw in the frame. You wasted alot of time.

Well that sucks. Even lowes has 3/8 self tappers. Sorry seemed like you were trying to say tapping the hole and threading a bolt was a better option.

This is how my Rigid Fab sliders are attached :

They have 2 legs bolted to the uni frame, An they also have a brace plate that goes on the back side of the pinch seam, With another plate that slips between the slider and the inside of the pinch seam They get bolted together with 6 bolts . The pinch seam had to be notched in 2 places so the legs tuck up keeping the sliders lowest point as low as the factory seam

How tight they fit to the body :
