Managed to remove the Crash Bars this weekend. Definitely a chore, but wanting to add some 275-70-18 tires to the stock rims, or possibly downsizing to a 17" rim. but I do have a question for you fellow Canadians, where do you order your parts from? specifically suspension parts. I've noticed TDotPerformance is Canadian, but their reviews are leading me away from them. they're the only place I've managed to find that is Canadian, was looking at a set of Rough Country N3 2.5" struts to avoid the use of spacers on the stock suspension, and to swap to a fox 2.0 rear shock to get a better ride out of the back. any help would be appreciated.

Finally got my Sport Bar and installed it this weekend.
For those interested - the Ford part # VKB3Z-99518K00-B is actually made by EGR USA listed as the S-Series - Sport Bar PART# SBAR0112 which can be found significantly cheaper than by going through Ford.

TDot's customer service is atrocious. DM me if you'd like a conversation about that. Partsengine.ca operates in a similar manner (dropshipping company also based in Ontario), and their customer service has been far better! I have purchased a significant amount of things from them and they've been great to deal with, including an experience with an incorrect item received and the return process involved etc.

I have ordered plenty of stuff from all over, and the experience with importing into Canada can vary greatly depending on who you're dealing with. Feel free to reach out there's anything in particular you're looking at, and I might be able to help.

UPDATE: thought I'd also add that the Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Kit is a really nice setup. I had my dealer install it prior to delivery. They source such add ons from 4wheelparts.ca, a bit pricier than some places but the dealer gave me factory warranty on what they installed.

Thankyou for the insight, I was also looking at the eibach kit this evening and it looks very well priced and seems to perform better than stock. If only stage 3 delivered to Canada ? but I will definitely give partsengine a look. Thanks again!

I finally got the Diode Dynamics SS3 Yellow fog lights in. The fit is perfect. Need to tweak the aim on them a bit. Will get some pics tomorrow night.

The eibach kit is excellent. My dealer even commented on the ride quality being much better than the stock FX4. I'm quite happy with it, no regrets whatsoever. I went with the +3/+1 setup on 295/70r17's and it has been great. Stage 3 will ship to Canada (or at least I had quotes from them). Unfortunately the cost to ship just makes it uneconomical to purchase from places like them and Panda motorsports for most things. Although I am still contemplating the Raptor style grill from Stage 3...just can't decide if I like it more than the Lariat grill in magnetic with the sport appearance package.

Had a good weekend with the F.F.R.

Saturday afternoon made a 325 mile round trip to pick up a Christmas present for one of my boys.
Sunday went on a trail run to show a couple of Broncos how to actually use them properly ?
