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!

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.

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?
