    Not that i know of. Avoid 4wp if you can. Best bet would probably order online through somewhere

    4wp is fine for buying parts. They don't carry softopper though, nor anyone else local. You will have to order it.

    I've settled on Softopper vs the bestop. Looks Like I can get the bestop more readily, though. Is anyone in the area running either?

    Just got my softopper put on today, never dealt with a bestop. So I can't compare. I do like it so far though.

    Hey guys! Semi-new to the forum. After literally years of noodling I finally bought my suspension setup. Went with the Icon Stage 3 but swapped out a full set of OME Dakars instead of the add-a-leaf.

    Couple of questions... anyone have a mod-day coming up? Was hoping to tackle this myself and avoid the $500+ cost of installation. Will supply beer and grub :) (I'm Belgian so good beer only...)

    haha. Also, anyone have any experience replacing the stock UCAs? That bolt looks hella-long and it doesn't look like it will clear the sheet metal when pulling it out.

    Thanks fellas!

    The UCA bolt is the only hard part of the entire suspension... everything else is a breeze

    I am in Charlotte, I'm going to help a local guy put a lift on in a few weeks. I can help with yours maybe the same weekend.

    Dang! If you were in asheville I'd totally be down!

    I've done a couple trucks now. Its totally easy stuff man. The uca bolt requires bending some sheet metal to clear it. All the rest is just taking your time and not creating more work for yourself

    No way!! I was wondering where it ended up. You happen to get a picture of it? I left the fuels and mud grapps on there and the front plate bumper.

    I kept a lot of shit on it to sell :laughing:

    ..scooped hood, rear plate bumper, roof rack, headlights, grill, toolbox Hahah

    Thank you guys so much for offering to help with the lift. You guys rock.

    Went up to Linville for some camping last night and this happened... Fun stuff. Guess it's a good excuse to get rid of the dunflops!
