Yea that would explain why I can't find their stand alone long arms. I wonder if you called them if they would sell just the arms. The kits are still on their site and still in stock everywhere.

From what I was told by their rep on facebook is that they are selling off what they have left and that's it. They will continue to warranty and service their XJ products but, no new manufacturing.

I read through most of this thread and didn't see it posted but I just did a Rubicon Express kit on my XJ with the RE shocks and it came with Bilstein Shocks with a RE sticker on them. They look similar to the 5100 series shocks.

That's interesting. Are they the twin tube or monotube RE shocks?

Looks like monotube. But the hardened shaft is painted over, isn't that a no-no..

That looks like a stem top to me, not the shaft.
