I was wondering if there are some really good sites on pre-made roll cages I am looking to have a family roll cage to add to my already hoop. And are there any roll cages that are still able to run a soft top???

If you do find a kit, you will probally have to get it welded up anyway.
Most kits come in pieces. I would just fab one up or have a local builder
fab one for you. That way you can have what ever you like.

I want to find some one with a bender that can just bend elbows , I can weld the elbows to straight sections and build what I want. local "fabricator" doesn't want to mess with it unless he builds the cage. I could see an entirely new market for DYI kits. just order what ever angles you wanted, 90's, 45's special orders are plus $x, The stubs with saddles could also be cut and welded to your DOM tube,supply your own floor plates and straight tube. A functional bender is about $700 dies about $200. If any body sees a deal on a used pipe bender send me a PM. Tube and Pipe Benders. One of the big reasons for the CJ is that it gives me chances to use the other toys I have and some times get new toys.
Here's a guy who sells pre-bent tubing for specific Jeep applications. Stinger bars, rocker slider tubes, spreader bars, etc. His stuff is ERW rather than DOM so take that into consideration.
Scroll down and you'll see the two items you're looking for.
Rear cage bars for YJ/CJ
This is designed for the early YJ and CJ owners who need protection for the family members riding in the back seat. Similar in profile to the TJ rear cage section they are left long to give you the flexibility of choosing the mounting location that best works for you. Add a set of our MP3175 mounting plates and rear spreader bar for additional cross support and you have one stout cage. Made from 1.75"x.120" ERW and sold as a pair.
Price: $90/pr.
Rear Spreader Bar
The rear spreader bar is welded to your stock roll cage bars at the rear of your cage and is intended to prevent the rear bars of your cage from bending inward during a roll over.
In the correct position our spreader bar will clear both the hard and soft top and provide maximum head clearance for back seat passengers. Our spreader bars are made using 1.75" ERW tube with .120 wall thickness. Tubes should be trimmed or notched to fit your application. Rear spreaders can also be used at the front if you want more head room over a straight bar.
Compare our price to the competitions weld/bolt in spreaders.
Price: $55.00
If you want to add a front hoop (behind windshield) there are several options out there. You can get a full hoop that runs down to the floor HERE, but they really make getting into and out of a CJ5 interesting. I know, I have one! The other option (and what I'll probably change over to) is THESE stanchions that bolt to the windshield, dash and floor to transfer the energy from a hoop to the floor/frame and leave you a lot more leg room. Still need to buy a hoop though.
If you want to go all-out, just buy THISCJ7 kit from GenRight. You'll have to shorten up the length on the rear pieces which would require cutting and re-notching, but if you're looking at kits that should be within your skill level.

Send me a PM. I have a HMP-200 Protools w 1.5" dies, air/hydro and a digital readout. I'll bend you whatever. It sits more than I like. It's fun to bend. I'm always thinking of stuff with bends. Check out my tube fenders that came off of it.
