i would order probably around 20 feet of material. just a rough guess. thats probably one full stick of what you are going to be using. but i dont know. 1/4 plate would be nice and some grade 8 bolts. probably 1/2 or so i would imagine

Just bought the materials and took all the measurements for my rockers today. Here's a link to my build thread with the post. Note this is on a 94 4door Cherokee and the rock rails will be roughly 65" long. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/showth...?t=4784&page=4


Also, yes a 2 door Cherokee has a slightly shorter wheelbase than a 4 door model.
