I had mine back into the dealership on Monday for the TSB fix. Took all day (don't get me started on my dealership!) but I got it back, and it is noticeably better. Steering wheel movement immediately results in wheel movement - much tighter.
I did have to wait months for the parts, and then...
That loos great. Let us know how it works for you.
As for the plastic end caps - you may be able to leave them (obviously I would prefer metal...) and put the bracket into the end caps on the Arana strut.
An extra 66 lbs would be welcome relief. I'd love a 115 lb...but I can't seem one.
Ace's website says their are rated at 67lbs each (https://aceengineeringandfab.com/products/ace-jt-gladiator-upper-decker)
I found these on Amazon at 125lbs. But they don't have the brackets on them - can you swap those easily enough...
Took mine in for service yesterday. They kept it all day to check it out (and also look at a code my ODB II reader found).
They updated the Powertrain Control Module yesterday, and still ordered the parts. Parts should be in around September 28th.
Lee,
Thank you. I have several e-mails from Bestop, over a longperiod of time, that culminated in a refusal to offer a rebate, even one that would equat a total savings that matched the original rebate.
I'm happy to share them if you would like. I hesitate to name the actual customer service...

BlackVue does make an external, truck mounted solution: https://blackvue.com/product/dr750s-2ch-truck/
I am considering that, and mounting it to my Ace Upper Decker, if I can find a way to run the wire in safely.
