When I had that question, I bolted the bars up, and measured. I got +8" which were a little long. Takes a few days longer to do it this way but it eliminates guesswork.

Yeah as I think it out I believe that's what it equates to. I believe the stock length is a 60-61" so yeah a +4 you should be ok.

+4 would not work with my Yaffe's if I wanted it routed just as stock. I had to send it back and get the +8. Mine is routed as it was from the factory. I don't think even +6 would have reached.
