Man, that looks awesome! I can't wait to get mine. I think I will go with the 6" except that I am worried about clearance problems with my garage door. How tall is your jeep in stock form and the 6 inch lights? The only reason I would get 4" lights is that the Gobi saleslady said they would sit flush with the top bar on the Ranger rack. I only have 81 inches of clearance in my garage

You should be alright. I just measured and with the ranger, 6" lights, and 33s, I'm at 79 and 1/2 inches. Man, you garage is low. I guess no lift with 33s in your future but you will be good with the rack. I got my lights from Dave (@ Alpha Expedition). His prices were competitive and he helped me out a lot.

Thanks for taking the time to measure your rig. I can now start looking for some decent lights that won't break the bank. The cookie-cutter houses in SoCal have very low openings, but it's the garage door that sits the lowest. I won't be doing any mods to the suspension anyway, as I bought the lifetime warranty with the car and only plan to do expedition runs and not rock crawling. Thanks again

I would check with your dealer. With mine you can run Upto a 3" lift and 33's without voiding the warranty. I have never seen a dealer get cranky over a BB kit either.

PS make sure you garage door handle on the inside dosnt hang down any.... or you might find out the hard way

I will! Thanks. I haven't asked my dealer as I've only had it a month, so no more expensive mods for the time being. They offer lifted and kitted-out JKs for sale, so I assume they are mod friendly, but I will ask first

Default Serious Canadian customy

After some serious debate I finally decided to go with the stealth rack. The downside is I live in Prince George, BC, Canada (Northern BC). I want this rack. What are my options? I am about a 12 hour drive North of the border and my JK is my primary ride so fuel cost vs. delivery is definitely a factor.

Is there a Canadian dealer yet? (Notrhridge ). Can it be shipped truck freight on a big rig? etc.

Please let me know. I would love to have this on by June for the Whipsaw run in Princeton, BC!

Send me an email to sales@alphaexpedition.com with your actual shipping address and I will get you the freight quote.
