I wonder if the Overland shocks & springs are different than the Sport?
I run from Florida up to the GA mountains with 500-600 lbs of motorcycle in the back of my 80th Anniversary Sport, my wife & myself and the back seat loaded to the gills.
This includes going at a pretty fast pace through...
When open look at the very back of the top near the rain rail.
You may have to lift up the top a bit to see of they are still intact.
If they are broke, you will know it.
They dont tend to break on install, but when you close it.

I dont use it for serious off road. It is first and foremost a convertible truck to me, a family travel vehicle second and a light use 4x4 a very...

Now I do run my Gladiator...
