i got the top measured but not sure exactly what measurements you need or how precise you need it to be but the uppers about 10 3/4" on the top side and about 10 1/4" bolt hole to bolt hole
let me know exactly how you would like it measured and i can get it for you on the lower

Just make them the same, left to right. If you need a ballpark. How about the middle of the adjustment.

Now install everything and check your pinion angle. This will determine the final adjustment.

you know i actually have one side still bolted to the car so its hard to measure bolt to bolt for the lower i would say if one of the 3 estimates you got was right it would be the 17 1/2 . i measured but it was difficult to be exact ...and for the upper like i said 10 1/4 is pretty close but not precise but its not 9 1/8
