This appears to be a very nice product, and there is sure a market for it IMO! I have EVO RockStars on my rear axle. I will say the one thing the RockStars provide that your model doesn't is additional clearance as they move the lower shock mount higher. THAT SAID, they are also more entailed to install, require you to really know what shock length you need, and make it much harder to get that dang lower control arm up in to the mount! I can't tell you how many times I've removed my rear control arms, only to get the stupid upper arm in place first before realizing I had to do the lower one first due to the RS skid. Your skid looks much more user friendly and like a good option for many weekend wheelers that are tired of 1) bending their lower control arm brackets, and 2) dragging their lower shock mounts over the rocks. Nice job Rancho.
