Looks like the Reg price is going to be $239, but they are introducing them for $189. That's an awsome deal!

Rubicon Express has had those out on the market for a while now.  I've got them in mine, and so far I haven't noticed much improvement in ride or handling. I've got the RE 4.5" SF kit, with custom upper and lower control arms.
'04 Unlimited with a few mods. SOLD
98 XJ with a few mods. SOLD
02 Sahara with lots of Mods.

I know about RE's, infact, Trailmaster released them first waaayy back, but they didn't have braces, just the brackets.....I'm just happy that RC released theirs, cause they are half the price of the RE units and they include the braces as where with RE, you have to buy them seperately.

Some people say they notice a huge difference, some say they don't.

To be perfectly honest with you, I didn't notice much difference in ride quality when I went to my long arms either. They do flex better and give me back my wheel base though.
