Default Are rocker panels the same size for 2 door models as for 4 door models?

I have a two door that needs new rocker panels and I cannot find the answer to this question. Some rockers that I see say "for 4 door models" so I am just not sure. I am also not interested in doing that whole welded in steel box thing unless I can find the steel for dirt cheap.

Also, if you know where I can find some 2 door rockers that will fit a '98 for cheap, please let me know.

Thanks for any help

I'm guessing the rockers for the 4 doors have thr molding for the door pillars and the 2 doors do not.

A real easy solution that most end up doing is the 2x4 or 2x6 square tube replacement.

You weld in the square tube in place of the rocker and it doubles as a slider.
