    Hey, it's been a while since I needed a measurement, but this one is easy. How wide is your stretched body, just behind where the door would be on your body with a door?

    Thanks in advance.

    At that point it is 48" wide to the outside of the body line.
    It is 49" overall a bit further back at the base of the rise

    It is around 37" between the two round pillars. I will get you an exact dimension tomorrow

    Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm trying to see if a couple 19" wide bomber seats would fit, if they were raised about 3" off the floor.

    The 37" dimension is correct. That is at the top of the tube that goes side to side where the pillars meet it.
    The dimension on the floor (side to side) just behind the door jam is only 35 1/4"

    Hope that helps

    Resinator, I wasn't as specific as I should have been yesterday. What I need is the BODY width where the front of the frame is, at about 5" from the floor. Sorry for the confusion.

    Okay, I posted and didn't notice you had answered the question. That measurement helped a lot. Thanks, again!

    At the 5" up point, without the support framework, just behind the door opening it is 39 7/8" wide on the inside. The door jam sticks out around 1 1/2" so as long as you stay behind that it should fit.
