    Bestop TrailMax 2 seat and Caribou Riser Bracket Question

    I do plan to keep the sliders. The holes in the trailmaxx are wider then the sliders so I was thinking about adding flat bars, like you said and put 2 sets of holes in them. One set for the slider and the other set for the holes in the seat. Just wondering if this has been done or am I doing...

    My Core 4x4 suspension!

    I have been upgrading my jeep over the last year and finally got to a point that I decided to work on my suspension.
