Guess I'm kinda partial to the Joey beds, just bolt them into place and forget about them, and very heavy duty.  When I was pricing slide assemblies I ended up buying the complete setup from Bontragers for less.

Wow, what a lot of great input and ideas. However the real answer lies in doing it right the first time , and that requires spending more than I have to get the job done. I know that the heavier slides are the way. Joey beds are probably a good way to go but I am 2000 miles away from them so I guess they are out.

Thank you guys for some really good input and way to go. i will keep you posted as to what I finally do.

   You can built something like this, use low carrying track & lock the drawer with an wedge so the wedge will carry the load while shaking down the road & keep the drawer from moving. The track will be carrying the load only to open & close.
May work.

Another idea is instead of expensive full extension slides, you use an outboard support such as a swing down trailer wheel.
