suburban passenger rocker question

hello all, Having an issue with installing the passenger side outer rocker. I've got the inner rocker and floor fixed( i think) but the outer rocker kinda sux! is there a better one on the market or do they all need to be modified to fit? Was the factory one modified? I got the 3rd door one from the same vendor and it dosent look like its very good either. starting to miss replacing quarter panels!!

I can't really help you because I have never had to replace one on a Suburban. I know most of the ones for pickups have to be modified some to fit correctly.

Thanks LockDoc, would you happen to know of any instructions on the forum from someone who's done it?

Re: suburban passenger rocker question

Re: suburban passenger rocker question

I guess i'm good with cutting the thing up to make it fit but I cant seem to find any pictures or instructions to guide me thru the process. My old one is in decent enough shape to still see the modifications but am nervous to screw up(I do that alot). Any ideas on where to look? the previous advice is great but nothing about suburbans.

Thanks
