Well got it all finished up today still need to add the 2x2 kicker rails. I measured the lowest point on the drivers side rockers at 16 inches and the passenger side at 19 inches so a 3" total gain and 5" if I were to have had sliders mounted under the rockers. :cheers2:



I also still need to cap them so ill be doing that this week at some point
