Thanks, yeah I was leaning towards full replacement to avoid messing with bushings. Are there any brands you would recommend for an upgrade? Based on what I’ve read on forums, OEM seem to be the preferred choice? (Avoid cheaper aftermarkets like Dorman, Moog, etc) I’ll be also replacing...

Lightbars on a Gobi Stealth rack? Hey guys, anyone got any pics of a 3rd gen with 4x 4" light bars across the top rack? Or a 2x 4" on the outside and a 10" in the middle? I just got a Gobi Stealth Rack for my 3rd gen... now thinking about lighting options: get some for rack, or wait a few...
