Default Rocker Fork length?

Can someone please measure their Rocker Fork Length unsprung (on a lift). I want to know the measurement from top of upper triple tree to centerline of axle. I have a +4 41mm WG front end and am thinking of using it on my next bike (thinking a Rocker).

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Joe What, would prefer to get keep the 49mm, but I have a complete +4 41mm dual disc front end setup with dual 4 piston PM calipers sitting around.

I think the big question here is why the +4 wide glide front end isn't on the wide glide?

I'd run a fork brace if converting to a 41mm WG frontend on the Rocker.
