Default need help applying decals to tailgate..

I have new "DODGE" and "4X4" tailgate decals but my truck was repainted and I cannot tell where the originals were appliedonce before. Can someone give me rough measurements for each decal from the lower or upper corners of the tailgate? would much appreciate that ...thanks

I'd think if you don't have that to just measure to the bottom of the tailgate. That piece covered the tail gate. If the tailgate is shorter under there I wouldn't think it would be much if any.

I get the measuring part...Just thought maybe Dodge had another decalmounting location for tailgates without the bumper pad. Or maybe my Ram's tailgateis missing it's trim??

Aren't those usually just removed? Did they ever make one without them? I just assumed all without them had just been removed.

Yeah, sorry I didn't see this post again earlier. I measured to the bottom of the tailgate itself, not to the bottom of the molding. The molding doesn't wrap around the tailgate, just goes from the bottom to 1/3 the way up or so. So yep, measurements should be the same, with or without it.
