The very bottom looks like it sits higher but I’m seeing there may actually be more exposed vulnerable surface area than the genrights
I'm wondering if you couldn't cut the bottoms off about half way? I guess if it was that much of a concern. I'm honestly not that worried about hitting the raised mounts.
My stock ones looked like JMT's before I cut them off.

I don’t know a good way to measure these, so this is frame rail to the weld bead (which I know isn’t great)
This might be easier than getting the damn outer C’s around the frame, If only I could weld.
I think you have enough friends that can. If we can find a high voltage outlet in Moab I’ll bring my gear to get it done there as another option. 110 won’t be quite enough for the frame and mount thickness.
He does but I'm 3 hours away and my garage is sort of full right now. I'm trying to pencil him in for spring next year.
I’ll be in a hotel in Moab, so you’re looking more likely. If not we should see if @ChevyKeith can link us up with Grandpa’s garage!
I’m watching some welding videos. Trying to warm up to the idea. I bet my neighbor would let me borrow one of his machines for a few hours to practice. Maybe start getting some PPE.I think you have enough friends that can

Little frame work today in preparation for winter. They do use some chemical on the road which is very annoying, so I have to stay on top of it.
Cleaned, scuffed, sanded sections that had surface rust, cleaned some more, masked everything off, painted with Krylon Semi-Flat. It’s still wet in the photos, so it looks glossier than it will when dry.

I was just looking as some damage I have on my sliders yesterday...You and @Irun were in my head..."sand that down and paint it" Instead I went inside and had a beer! I need to drink to quiet those voices in my head!
My answer is to drink a beer
while sanding and painting. 
The irony today was that after all that I forgot to touch up the last spot on my slider!
Another thing I forgot. I already put the Currie Steering to use on the rocks. Scraped up real bad where the drag link goes into the tie rod. Didn’t touch that up either, so more work to do in addition to the whole driver’s side.
