Roll bar related top question...

So i have a double wall top as well as a bestop soft top i have yet to get installed... which one sits lower interior wise when installed? Trying to figure out my roll bar design but want to make sure it will work with both tops...

The double walled top is taller than the soft top.

When I built my full cage. I had to put both Tops (soft topper and double wall) on and off a couple of times to ensure the cage would not rub or touch the ceiling and sides.

So was the soft top a tighter fit like mentioned above?

Re: Roll bar related top question...

i used 2 inch PVC pipe and sweeps (instead of elbows) to mach mine up for height.
in hindsight, i guess i could have just used a tape measure
