    Your observation is correct, I wish I had measured before I took my Rocky Road Sliders off but I did not, I think you pick up about 2" of clearance with the Steel Armadillo Slider over the Rocky Road.

    This is the Rocky Road:



    And this is the Steel Armadillo:



    You can see from the photos that the Rocky Road mounts from way under to the frame and sits under the body (I really bent up my rocky road supports) where as the Steel Armadillo Slider attaches to the side and under carriage of the body instead of the long reach to the frame.

    Remember that the purpose of Rock Sliders is to protect the body of the Jeep from trail damage. By mounting to the Jeep the way we do the slider will not cause damage to the Jeep as I experienced with the Rocky Road sliders which bent upward and crumpled my black plastic side trim.

    You have to remove the side trim to install the Steel Armadillo Slider, but I am working to see if you can trim the plastic piece to reinstall if you wanted too.
