Ref holding a jeep hard top this product would have no problem doing so as long as you used long enough lag screws into your trusses. I have a jeep with soft top, but if I had a hard top and it would fit (width/height) I would not hesitate to use it. I have 4 in my garage and I have a lot of weight in them with no problems. Very sturdy product.

Yep there on my 1995 XJ with 33s they work great but use RED loctite this way when you bounce off of a rock you don't knock a lug nut loose Good Luck.

I pulled a Dodge 1 ton pickup out of a mud hole with mine, I have a warn zeon rated at 10,000 I had to use a snatch block and tie my jeep off to another pickup to keep it from sliding,but it worked great.

They are great! I work with a a couple bigger guys and we go to lunch a lot and my truck is lifted so we use them all the time and they are holding up great and they mount pretty easily. I would say you wont have to worry!

They should work, I just put them on 5 x 10 with plenty of room to spare. One slick product and good customer support. They shipped the kit without the load bars, I called and they were Fed-Exed overnight.

Which jeep? I removed mine from the JK, they just get in the way. This doesn't fit the JK anyway, I used zipties and it works okay but it clearly isn't meant for it.

I bought these and they do work for my 2wd jeep the only thing to note is that this much lift is gonna make you need a longer drive shaft. the added height is gonna make your car vibrate if the drive shaft is too short.

i dont have them with me, but they had to 5 inches from top to bottom as laid out in the picture. they are big and beefy. i have a 26 foot toyhauler and the rings provided are not even close to this. if anchored properly, welded and bolted on, i would tie a jeep up no problem with these. mounting plate was also very thick. these things are the real deal. made in taiwan but once you hold one in your hand its not a concern. have fun!

Depends on how they are designed. If there is a slot on the J racks you have that the end can fit into it should work. I have the folding Malone J racks and love them. I haven't tried them on others. The only bad thing is the only thing that holds it to the vehicle is the slot in the rack and a sucsion cup. I would worry about that

I specifically purchased these for a canvas top on behalf of a family member, I don't personally know if they would work with a hard top. They install to the standard doors if that helps. I can't say for sure if there would be a lip or seal displacement that is different from the soft top that would impact the use of them in rain or poor weather on a hard top. Good luck.

they should work fine. i also used these to level out my jeep. i bought 2 inch lift coils then added these to level front to back. they worked perfect and my jeep looks right. it was kinda looking low in the front but now sits nice. good luck

I have them mounted on a gasoline caddy.Pretty good load and probably can handle that.

I'm not an expert and the ones I installed were for a Dodge Ram 3500 dually which a 10' camper with slide and towing a trailer with pretty heavy tongue weight. What I found after installation that they were unnecessary after I installed some Torklift StableLoad blocks to my Dodge. They have Quick Disconnect versions for the Ford application and these were the best improvement to handling of anything I ever did. If I were to do it again, no airbags, just StableLift...you're lucky to have the option for the Ford I don't for the Dodge.

It works fine for my 2010 JK. It's just too big to store in the rear. Great for storing the tops as long as you can leave them somewhere and don't try to keep them with you.

door skins do not snap to the top. any doorskin, designed for the jeep, should work. they seal as they would on any softop.

They'll bring you back to stock hight and ride and might be a little stiffer I haul a boat and my jeep doesn't sag to much with the new springs compared to the old worn out stock ones. They come with the bushings installed already definitely your best bang for your buck.

I was going to use them for a similar purpose but I found that they had far too much slop. At the top end 30" height I think I measured a 5" diameter circle that the pad your truck would sit on moved. But I tried and my Jeep fell off the jacks! Thankfully I left the tires on for this test and no one was hurt. Hope this helps.
