George, I've got 'em. I'll try to get some measurements soon.

What specifically do you need?

They are very simple really - they bolt to the frame with self-tapping bolts and have holes which line up with the holes in the sill panel (which hold on the cladding) and have bolts with nylon locking nuts to secure it.

They are the same length as the sill and have tapered ends. You may be able to see them in the snorkel pic in that thread.

They have been fantastic, and for the price they have been one of the better investments I've made. I've  "used" them a lot.

Let me know more specifics and I'll get some measurements and pics for you.

If you could get me numbers from the frame to the inner rail(one with bolts) and how long and where the rail ties into the frame.

George,

Sorry it took so long to get these measurements for you.

The rock rails are 64.25-inches long, the inner rail (which bolts to the sill in the little eyelets) is 45-3/8-inches long. From that to the frame is 9-inches.

Hope that helps, and my apologies. It's been crazy.

Let me know if  you need any other info,

Jeff

Installed them on my 2 door 99 a couple of weeks ago.  Saved my rockers today.  Long story.  SOLID product.  Too bad RRO's been so slow at rolling out skids, bumpers, etc.

Yeh, I've saved my rockers a bunch with those things, glad I have them. It is a shame skids and bumpers, etc... haven't come along yet. I keep emailing them asking about the status and get the basic answer of someday. At least they reply politely, unlike Calmini, which gives pretty nasty replies.

...like when I called Calmini w/ some tech questions about their suspension that i was seriously going to drop $1k on, but they were pretty rude so my $ went to RRO. I like my suspension, but I love the rails.
