Jtops Bimini with B and C Bow Brace kit

[CF12Valve]

I’ll be installing the B and C brace kit on my 2025 Badlands in the next few days. I’ve been wanting to purchase a Jtops Bimini top but could have swore I read somewhere that with the brace kit installed I would need to purchase the Raptor top instead of the standard top. Has anyone installed one of these tops with the B and C braces? It would make perfect sense that the Braptor kit would fit. Unfortunately the wife likes the flag design with the bronco emblem which is only offered for the standard Bronco. I’ve been looking everywhere to find the answer to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently running a standard JTops with the B and C braces. Obviously the B brace isn't an issue, the rear straps do work but it tends to bunch a bit in the middle. I’ve been able to pull it taught but I’m looking for a way to pull it more flat.

I installed the dual top on soft top with brace kit after couldnt bare to see the CAD 700 in the trash due to excessive VOC PVC off gassing....I just leave tje roof off.

My observations:

1. the fabricarion pattern is off leavimg too much play impossible to get taught with B brace mount rwstricring overall adjustability.

2. the front most flap with magnets had no place to magnet too they just unmounted.

3. the rear most back magnets also have no place to magnet to somthwy are loose as well not stuck to metal.

4. rear straps are too short somthwy are tightenwd on angle to center maki g the magnets pop up in center.

Basically the front and rear magnets are useless, cant get it totally taught, so it flaps a lot especually in the rear.

Since im into it sommuch already Im tempted to spend another $400 or more to get it fitting properly and maybe swap the pvc mwsh out at same time.

Since its bound ro strech out Im curious what the next weeks will bring.

Should have bought the Ford one that was listwd on classifies locally for 200 just to compare.

I may try the one piece standard top and see how well it fits. Thanks for the information. I have a hard top, not sure if that changes much between the two.
