I bought it direct from their website (https://www.topliftpros.com/). They had a Black Friday deal back in November so I got $100 off.

ICYMI - others have noted that it doesn't work quite as well with a JLU as it does with a JL, JK or JKU due to the design of the JLU top. It tends to lean toward the front of the top when on the lift so it's very unstable until you put the support rails in. Still a one-person task, but not as easy as the videos that I've seen make it look. That's my only "gripe", otherwise very nice product. Just thought I would share.
Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. No deals on their website but still cheaper than other places, so I’m going to order from them. Still the best option for me. I’m anxious to get the top off!!

I might be mistaken, but I think that rk lift kit comes with adjustable track bars and rear relocation bracket. I think it comes with longer control arms but I don’t think they’re adjustable, which I would change that if it were me. Like you said, he’ll need it...:)

The RK adventure series lift comes with longer than stock fixed LCA's that put my caster right at 6 with a 2.5" lift. The RK x-factor lift has adjustable LCA's. However, the grease fittings are a pain to deal with on the Adventure series...have to drop the arm to get to them and already had to replace 2 fittings because they broke off when 2 different mechanics attempted to grease them. Also supposed to use RK's unique 000 grease that has to be ordered and cost double normal grease.

I bought a few 90 degree zerks to solve that issue. Works great.

I have a JLU and the Top Lift. The top does lean forward a bit on the TopLiftPro, but unless I'm swapping tops for the summer, I don't bother with the support rails. Long term storage, I would say use them.

I picked up the edging trim & I'll be giving this a shot this weekend. Thank you gents for the temptation & ideas
If you were here in Florida I’d be happy to lend a hand, but I’m not driving that far.... :giggle:

Installed the Warn Zeon 10-S along with the warn winch plate into the factory steel bumper.

Also flexed out the new suspension. Looks like the 37s tuck nicely into the factor fenders without any rubbing. Woo hoo!

Nice clean looking install. Do you recommend the Warn winch plate?
