Ok, so this is what I stared with. Kinda crude and plain but boy did they save my rockers on many occasions!
I had roughly 22.5” clearance at the original rock sliders.
I now have a bit over 25.5”! Like a 3” lift kit for my rockers! Plus the mini boat side plates!

All the interior fit right back in. The only trimming was to the plastic piece by the rear passenger door where the lower seat hinge sits. Only about a 1/4” tho.
Here’s a little better angle on the boat side skid plate.
Another thing crossed off the list 👍. Next big project, exocage!

I'm pretty sure we all have a similar list.
Nice work

I don't write my list down. It is too depressing when I have multiple lists for multiple vehicles.

They work great! One of my favorite mods so far! The clearance is amazing and they are tough as nails! I got in a lot of situations like this and barely scratched the paint! I’m loving this! Well worth all the work 👍

love your attention to detail. Measuring tools are sweet.

I found 8" perfect 7" is close enough 7" just more work less protection and less wiggle room for tubes when landing bumpers cage.

Looking forward to your exocage
