this looks alot like a currie set up, but a good bit cheaper:http://www.rjroffroad.com/rugged-rid...-pr-17155.html

My final thoughts on this kit, I'd say hands down one of the best bang for the buck when it comes to upgrade parts. I'd install this kit in another Jeep with out a second thought. So far things I've noticed, vary positive feel to the steering wheel, and you tend to feel were the tires are more than just feel a steering wheel

But remember if you do a over the knuckle set up you also have to move the track Bar above the axle other wise you'll have major bump steer issues...

There are known issues with the RR setup. Something about play in the joints on lifts above 4". You have to make some type of washer to go between the joint and knuckle to cure this but it doesn't work every time. I wouldn't bother with it.
Go Currie. It may not be high steer but it's strong enough to hang low
Best bang for the buck IMO.

Be careful when higher then 4" the RR kit likes to twist loose and they do not make a spacer to correct it. When I called them they said its a great kit if you are under 4" but if you are over it can cause problems.
That said, its a very reasonably priced kit.
