Just measure between the two body mounts rear of the front wheel and forward of the rear wheel.  Side steps usually mount to these.  Some specs are shorter with longer 'legs' and are actually bolted through the chassis rails inboard of those two mount points, I prefer them mounted to the body mounts.  I could measure mine but they are from a YJ so are a bit longer (I have a YJ tub - whose body mounts are slightly further apart than the CJ tub)

Dog I'll take a couple of pics of mine and post them up so you can see the shape and how the end pieces (attaching points) are worked out.
