It's called the poor man's IS. Watching the videos it does give a smoother ride than stock leaf springs.
Very affordable.
The Roadmaster system looks interesting and I got curious about the cost (since I am a card-carrying member of The Poor Men). It looks like the parts and pieces can be purchased from several sources (etrailer screen shot below). With sales tax and delivery - round it up to $2000. I would guess the install to be 5 to 7 hours shop time @ (say) $200/hr or $1000 to $1500…so this system might run $3000 to $3500. Is that about right?

Edit: This does not include disc brakes!! I think disc brakes runs about $2000 (???) - so by the time you add disc brakes the cost is up to $5000 - $5500...closer to the cost of Morryde IS.

Edit: The information on the link above does not specify inches of travel.
