Rubicon Express 2" Hydraulic Bumpstops ?
Seems they're pretty new, or at least i haven't see them until now.
Their website says they're a direct fit, but they're not showing instructions anywhere that show how to mount/install them, wonder if anybody have them already, and can attest whether or not they're really a direct fit ?

I have the rubicon express hydraulic bumps front and back, I put in the new RE 3.5 progressives and those at the same time... the rears are inside the spring instead of frenched into the normal bumper spot like with synergy (or most every other) kit- that's what you are paying for with the kits is these specific mountings for the jk kit....
As TheDirtman says, there are kits for less money with known parameters for the same thing... if you can cut/weld the other rear mounts go in a known expected place and match up with bumpstop at cargo load. nothing specifically interesting other than the ease of mount for the rear RE kit... same clunk on a drop with load, etc. I was leaning to the kings or the ifp foxes but went for the RE for non-technical resources/$$/time reasons.
No complaints / issues with the kit but its only been a few months and 2 offroad trips, work fine daily commute/highway. Does mean that no upper retention or spring spacers like with the TF spacers would work in the rear.

Thanks PBU, i was looking into the Synergy rear brackets to mount Kings air cans, and that's how i came up with the RE options, seems i'll just have to drill couple of holes if go RE or Synergy/Kings cans in the rear, but i guess i'll have to pay for the front, to have something professionally welded in.
King have a threaded body bump stop that can be mounted in the rear bump stop location. They also have a shock top option that does not require the can and give you other options in terms of mounting.
