Shoot, you could drop you Jeep off at EVO, get a stretch, custom comp cut fenders, and a full coilover, for way less. Sorry, but Genright is on crack selling $2k worth of coilovers and $200 worth of brackets for $15k.
If you had any idea about the R&D that was put into developing the suspension and what it is capable of you would sing a different tune. Yes, it is expensive AF. Tony raced TerraMoto in EMC a couple years ago. Mel at EVO races EVO1 in KOH with his suspension. Both suspensions are top of the line. Since it is so overpriced don't buy it. Just make sure to move over for those who do as you are cruising through whoops at 5 MPH and they are passing you at 60 MPH. Sure you can get a cheap ass lift and put big tires on a Jeep but that doesn't equate to a good ride or good performance. GenRight has taken the time and invested lots of money to figure out all the solutions to all the problems with suspension geometry. Both GR and EVO's premier suspensions are for people who have the money and are willing to spend it on a vehicle that will perform as good as or similar to a race truck. Yes $1900 for a flat piece of aluminum is expensive but it has been cut, notched, holes drilled and chamfered and all you do is bolt it in versus fitting it over and over again making cuts and grinding spending a full day or more to custom fit the piece. Not to mention the fact they developed the suspension over a period of years of trial and era including racing it. So yes it is expensive but you are not seeing the whole picture.

Sorry, I've seen the EVO double throwdown system in action and its not impressive at all and noisy . Even tuned, which the Kings need as the valving sucks, by one of the best KOH shock tuners is just ok afterwards.

EVO Kings are just off the Shelf shocks same tune as you get buying yourself.

Save yourself $ have a known fab shop build you a suspension system and get the C/O-Bypasses tuned by a shock tuner.

If your going to spend stupid $ on a mass produced kit go with Genright but get your own C/O-Bypass shocks.
