    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.

    If someone makes a template I would love to include it with future orders as an option.

    I'm always a day late and many dollars short !! I ended up tossing both of my old ones or I would have sent them out to you ... Thinking perhaps a junk yard would be a good way to go to get one to make a template from, if others that have the SA Sliders have already tossed theres also.

    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!
