Bestop Soft Top

[BlueSierra]

Hi All. I am a new owner of a 1971 Ford Bronco in New Zealand! I am considering removing the stock hard top (which is not in great condition) to replace with the Bestop soft top. Is any one able to advise how much extra height that would add? I’d like to make sure it fits in my garage. Thanks in advance!

Blue - I have the top on my 73... 35" tires with Duff 5.5" lift. The middle bow on the Best Top measures just under 7ft from the ground on mine, just went out and measured. I have "standard" garage doors that measure 7ft high. The top brushes up against the top garage door opening weather stripping, but that is all. To my surprise it fits in my garage.

Thanks for that.

A measurement from the top of the bed rail might be more useful. I took the Kayline top off mine in '91.

That would be wonderful.

I'm pretty sure the Rampage top is an inch or two lower in profile. I've run mine for ~10 years and it has held up really well.

Looks great. I may consider that.

Measured from the top bed rail and leveled to the highest point of the middle bow… 29 inches.
