Looking for a set of coil buckets, lower control arm mounts, sway bar mts, and shock mounts. The lift kit comes with a triangulated upper weld on bracket so I don't need the upper mts.

Do I have options beyond Rubicon Express Mfg?

If you can cut and weld, make your own and save money.

Or buy a busted up d35, cut the brackets off, and weld them on your new axle.

I really like the idea of professionally made (i.e. laser/ water/ plasma cut and bent with a brake) that are heavy duty. Do any other manufacturers exist? Rubicon has a nice product, looking for better maybe cheaper, etc...
Installing this for a customer, who already has some "X-Factor" or something lift kit. I am just his providing him with an axle. Always used Rubicons in past.

Blue torch sells lots of cool lasered parts, not sure if they've gotten specific like brackets for TJ axles, but they might have something that'll work.

Currie sells some of the brackets as well. I would imagine that most of the major axle builders would make them.

I know Tera also makes the full bracket kit youre looking for, I used it when i did my 44 swap.
I was impressed with the quality of the material and welds.

I have both the Tera and RE brackets. Side by side I couldn't really see any difference between the two other than one set was for the front and one was for the rear.

I have an RE kit that I tacked in place and then ground off because I changed plans. It's complete minus the RE coil buckets. I do have good shape factory buckets though.
