You will want to go with a custom weld in rather than a bolt in or standard kit. Most of the kits have he main hoop sitting on the floor in front of the rear bin structure. This will end up giving you clearance issues.

Kirk has a weld in kit and they leave the tubes long for you to trim. This works out well. What you want to do is put the main hoop legs on top of the rear bin cross tube. Then angle the rear hoop back 1 to 2 degrees. This gives you the most clearance available. Also remember when you install the tubes from the main hoop that go over the drivers window to put these as close to the roof as possible.
