Re: Need advice on Soft Top Moved to Chit Chat, you'll likely get more replies there. Bestop is generally regarded as the best bang for the buck. What does your budget look like?

Re: Need advice on Soft Top I'd also suggest the Bestop. I installed mine earlier this year and couldn't be happier.
One thing to consider.....if you have a lift and keep your Bronco in the garage....the Bestop will increase it's total height a few inches. I have a 2.5" lift, 1" body lift, and 35" tires and it just barely clears the top of the garage door opening.

Re: Need advice on Soft Top The things I don't like about the best top is the middle bow is to high and windows are small. I like the kayline/etc/rampage tops.

Re: Need advice on Soft Top I read everything I could on CB.com about the BesTop and Rampage. The new Rampage Black Denim material is really cool and it is $100 less. I saw Airbur pull the trigger on a BesTop and that swayed me back to BesTop since he researches this stuff more than anyone. When I was finally ready to pull the trigger on a top, I called Wild Horses. After talking to them, I chose the BesTop. Wild Horses did not say one was better than the other, I just asked which one the guys at the shop buy themselves. End of the day, both tops are great. If one was junk, you would see a movement one way or the other - but there is not. It may come down to what ZOSO said - how it looks. My BesTop is less than an inch of hitting my garage door so I cannot get larger 35" tires, so the center bow height and windshield riser are a consideration.
FYI - If ya want tan, I think BC Broncos is doing a limited run of 25 Rampage tops in spice/tan.
My only regret is that 1 week after installing my BesTop, DNewman posted up his new black Canback/BC Bronco top for sale. If he posted it a week earlier, I would have returned my BesTop and bought his CanBack/BC.

Re: Need advice on Soft Top Rick, let me know if you decide to sell your Kayline. I seem to be collecting them.
