Should replace the current "standard issue" j-cups
Bought these after a couple missed re-racks started marring up the knurling on my bars and chipping the powder coating on the edges of the "standard issue" J-cups. Since using these, I have had zero problems with marking up my bars. These babies are heavy-duty, and its practically impossible to damage your bar when re-racking on these J-cups. Honestly, Rogue should make these the standard and get rid of the current J-cups that come with rigs / racks. If I had known how much better these were, I would have requested to swap them out when initially ordering my rack. The up-charge for these is well worth the cost, in my opinion.

Good Product, but One Suggestion
When trying to move the bar side to side, to center it, sometimes the hooks will swing to the side a bit. This could be avoided by adding another bit of metal to the bottom of each hook with a hole, so that you could put one of those orange handled pins through. That is how the monolift arms attach, and it works quite well to keep them stablized.

Functions well for bench pressing
I was initially confused by these j-cups and didn't think that they would work well for benching. Since the bottom of the sandwich j-cup is much lower than the standard j-cup, the safety straps have to be mounted considerably lower. For me this meant that the straps were far to low to provide any protection while bench pressing. I eventually did discover that the opposite end of the straps can be mounted several holes higher to counteract this problem. I was worried that this might cause the bar to roll onto or towards my face when I failed a lift, but this has not been the case.
The only complaints I have is that the lip of the j-cup could be a bit smaller, and it would have been less confusing if the safety straps could be mounted closer to the j-cups.
I would buy this product again.

Essential!
I bought a pair of these last month as I wanted to ensure there was no metal to metal contact with my nice barbells. They are big, heavy and well made and for me a total necessity for my rig.
I like the fact that the UHMW is also on the underside of the J-Cup in case of any inadvertent contact during pressing.
I like them so much that I have an ordered another set - one for bench and one for squats.

Good Upgrade
I debated whether the $45 up-charge for these would be worth it, but I'm glad that I got them. As you can see from the picture, these are narrower than the regular j-cups. This provides a bit more clearance when re-racking the bar, which I appreciate since Monster Lite squat stands and racks are quite wide.

Holy UHMW, Batman!
These are awesome and great for keeping the bar nice... Keep in mind they are massive compared to standard jcups and may interfere with Rogue strap safeties (on bench setting) because of that. Great for rack pulls in the front though

Replacement for bad regular J-cup
These are great if you have had problems with the regular J-cups scratching your bars.
Backstory: I have a ML squat stand and the stock J-cup's allen/hex bolts were not tight enough and were removing the finish and knurl from my bar. I tightened the bolts up and it seems like it might be just enough to not scrape the bar for a while, but I wanted a more sure fix. I taped some plastic you can buy on amazon over it to cover the bolts as a temporary fix until I ordered these.

Great quality j-cups
Great Rogue quality, exactly as advertised. I really like these because I use a wider grip on squats and these j-cups give me about 3/4" extra width on each side as to not pinch my fingers re-racking. The design also helps re-racking squats. I walk my squat to the j-cup where the pointed end touches my palms and I can safely re-rack without pinching my hands.
