There is no reason for a write up. The mounting points are the exact same, so all you have to do is cut to length and pull cap off cut off piece and put back on end cap of existing rail. We've done tons here, and it's that simple

I kind of figured it would be pretty simple like that, just never seen a writeup is all. debating if I want to go that route or save up the funds for psc rocker knockers

Not sure for cutting down for a 2dr would image the mounting is the same. I have cut mine down twice for clearance. Easy to do; remove caps, mark cut lines around rail, cut with grinder or reciprocating saw (be sure not to overheat or paint will bubble), drill hole for new cap plug (3/8" bit), masking tape off exposed steel, paint, re-install caps, bolt to jeep THEN

Mounts are all the same minus the one, which will be attached to piece you cut off.
