An anti-friction slider pad assembly for reducing the frictional resistance during sliding, longitudinal adjustment of a load support bed relative to an underlying frame structure in order to provide for adjustment of a longitudinal load distribution of the loaded bed on the frame structure, includes a seating or shoe structure for removably supporting the slider pad on the underlying frame structure in order to enable removal of the seat structure and pad therefrom as a unit for convenient replacement of the worn pad. The seat and pad preferably include respective coupling elements for securing the pad on the seat without separate fasteners. In a method for installing the anti-frictional pad, the pad is secured to the seat structure and thereafter the flanges of the seat structure guide a sidewise, lateral displacement of the pad and seat between the load bed and a suspension hanger on the underlying frame structure.
