dont need to . just measure underside from front of rear w/arch to just in front of f/door pillar if you look under you can see it clear enough

right just been out and measured rear weel arch to end of front sill and comes to 1400. some reason i was thinking it end up towards front middle of the front wing bit.as when plastic trim is removed they be nothin there.

[uncle albert]

good luck . its same size as wharehouse shelving or builders merchants racks

I used 120 x 60 on mine as it comes nicely below the door pillars for welding and a bit more protection for rock sliding, but either will do the job, also beware of the body mounts when cutting them off, good luck.

thanks for the infor guys

i dit mine in 11x60, ut wish id have gone 110/120 as it would have given me more to weld tree/rocl sliders to, but def 1400 long.

i cut out the outer sills and my inner ones were good so left it there and used that to weld box to.
