    It's more of a "softtopper slid into it perfectly" kinda situation, as you have to bolt down the rack, then slide the softopper into it. It's going to be a pain in the ass to take it on and off (softopper) from what it was originally, but the plan is to have a double-decker sleep station (w RTT) for me n the wife and some of those kid-things down the road :ballchain:

    Seriously though, it's amazing. I mean, I've had the Dakars and stuff done, all I did was change the Rough Country shocks (which were smoother than stock) to the King's and it's like riding on glass man. I couldn't believe how much difference I could notice.

    I took apart my rear leafs in hopes of blasting the dirt out and stopping the squeaking. I got a bunch of dirt out, but dammit it still squeaks (not as much though). Looks like the bike tube is the next step for me!

    New 285 Duratracs on my stock Baja Suspension and Wheels. Had to removed the mudflaps and do some minor trimming on the front fender flares. Still get a little rubbing at full compression, but I can live with it. They are definitely beefier.

    I used a graphite paint, just spread the leaves with a chisel and pry bar and sprayed it in there. No more squeak, going on a few thousand miles now both on and off road. I got the paint from Amazon, Slip Plate is the brand name.

    Thank you!! Was in between your leaves dirty? If not, I may pull mine completely apart and really get in there.

    Mine were, I power washed them and the squeak went away for a couple days. When I sprayed the graphite on there it was only a little while after I cleaned them so it was a clean-ish surface.
