    I'm currently " on the road " and will not be able to give you a measurement until around the end of the month, and that should get you in the ball park ( remind me via PM if I forget ..LoL).

    Once I decided on the straight cut, the measurement worked for both sides and is approximately 1/8 to 1/4 above the slider. I played around with the ends also on my old pair that I was using as a template until I got the look I wanted. But I'm also not very artistic ! I'd recommend also using your old rocker to get the exact fit and look you want. Cutting the old ones also gave me practice with cutting them, so I minimized my chances on messing up the new ones.

    I also had the new ones painted to match the Commander as I thought it might look better than having three slightly different colors in a small area ( body, plastic rocker and then the slider.. also cut them first before painting). I was surprised how it almost looks like it came from the factory that way.

    Definitely love that look of stock.. 07JeepXK and I were talking about that this weekend, you put the sliders on there are mounting holes for the rockers that were left open and were discussing a way to fix that and this is PERFECT! Whenever you get around Id appreciate it, sliders are in the very near future!

    Really wish I didn't get the 4XG's when they had that inventory sale (but it was the right decision at the time).... I really like that SA slider setup.
