Yup. The Ultimate Brace is the first product offering for our new website, which has only been up for about 3 weeks. Lots of good things to come however!

I'm looking forward to it! It's nice to see some real engineering in aftermarket support, and to see a company thinking outside of the box.

Probably not, but I'm not going to say you couldn't make it work. It definitely won't work with the SB drop brackets.

How does that extension or whatever attach to the sector shaft? Thread it on? You have any pics of it? I'm wondering because I don't think it will work with mine.

JD, the extension you're talking about replaces the stock pitman nut, you can check it out on the instructions on their site if you like.

BWE: It looks like you guys are running fairly tall lifts in the pics, and both look like OTK steering. The 2nd one looks like a drop pitman arm?

I'm getting ready to lift my XJ, and it is unfortunately going to be sitting at about 6.5-7". I am going to be running Currie's UTK bolt on steering with a 3-4" drop pitman arm. Do you think this will interfere with your brace at all?

Also, any pics with the SB Brackets installed, and is there any min/max lift requirements to run the SB Brackets? Again, I'll be pretty tall with 35s, and want to retain my SB. One other question about the brackets: Would you offer them fully boxed as opposed to C Channel? I'm not sure how much force is actually exerted on those braces but I'd guess boxed would be stronger? (noob question, but felt the need to ask because I'm honestly clueless on that haha)

Thanks for making new products for the XJ, its refreshing to see! Very interested in this brace.

Simply remove the factory nut and replace with the one that we provide.

Thanks! I'm only running about 4" of lift however along with the factory pitman arm and don't have any clearance issues. The brace should work without issue with your intended setup. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures yet with the SB installed, but should hopefully have some soon. There also isn't really a "required" lift per se, but the sway bar end links/disconnects will need to be the correct length in order to maintain the proper static angle of the bar. Our brackets will drop the bar roughly 3" for reference.

As for boxing them in, it's a moot point really. We would need to charge more for them, and being fab'd out of 1/4" material they are plenty strong as is. If you somehow manage to mangle one I'll hook you up with a new part no questions asked (Brace not included).

Got mine yesterday....everything looks awesome,high quality product with excellent instructions and packaging!! Is there any antiseize you recommend?
Thanks again for the order! Any high pressure anti-seize should work fine.
