my rrc has a full length disco rack on it, it's the previous owner's handywork and looks to fit ok for width but I think he's taken several inches off the leg height to fit it closer to the roofline (rrc roof is flat, disco roof isn't)

Disco and RRC roof width's should be fairly similar - as pointed out, the difference in roof height may be an issue.
I know a series roof is about 4-6" narrower so presumably so would a 90/110 roof be narrower too.

Usual caveats apply.

Nominall they same width but the RRC has much narrower gutters, so depending how adjustable the mounts are you might make it fit.  I bought a light bar that wouldn't fit and that ended up on a Disco.
