Love this rack!
Awesome add-in to my S series rack! Stops the sway if loaded with weight. No problems at all with this rack. Great rogue American made quality. I'm ready to get something even beefier. It all depends on how much your willing to spend. But you can't go wrong with rogue!

Stop the sway in your stand
I ordered this for two reasons. The first is to kill the sway in the stand, before I had to weigh the feet down to do any kipping pull-ups or T2Bs; now with just the conversion kit, I can swing all I want (5'10"@205#). The second reason is to reduce the amount of space needed for my weights. I haven't bought the storage bars yet, but will write a review for those in the future.
My only complaint is that only one of the uprights had a rogue sticker on it, but both had the cut out "R".
Lastly I gave 5 stars because this thing is solid and does everything it is advertised to do; however, if I was do do it again, I would have just purchased the 90" uprights so I could do overhead work in the rack. That would give even more space for storage. (Rogue, if you do decide to make a taller half rack, I would like 10% of sales).

Awesome rack
Rogue makes the best garage equipment hands down. I live in Michigan and always receive my deliveries within 48 hours. It's unreal. The welds on their equipment are top notch. If you've owned anything that's from China you'll see the difference immediately. I purchase the Rogue S2 and HR2 at the same time. I decided to go with this setup for a few reasons. First, I don't like performing movements within a rack and with the addition of the safety rails I feel perfectly safe working out. Second, I wanted a rack that has plate storage but didn't want the footprint of a power cage with a plate holder system. This thing is rock solid. The j cups are awesome. No complaints with anything. There are so many accessories to purchase from Rogue for all of their lines of equipment. I hope to buy one of their multi angle benches and the Matt Chan bar next. Support your American made companies!

Expanded My S-2 Squat Stands For The Better
I have had this expansion pack for a year or so......noticed I never reviewed it. Was watching a "Garage Gym Tour" on YouTube. When they got to their rack that they "Got on Amazon for $250" they racked an empty bar to demonstrate features and the rack shook a bit, side to side. That was with an empty bar!
Made me realize how essential it is too have a rock solid rack. If I were to do it again I would have bought a full rack.......but that was not the path I started on. I was able to expand on my S-2 Squat Stand and not lose my original equipment investment. I now have plate storage, ability to do pull-ups.....not kipping, strict, I even mounted a Reverse Hyper to the rack.......ROGUE would probably not recommend that but......it works well. The rack is so solid I drilled some holes in the base and use Band Pegs & Bands for Squats, Deads, and Benching.
I defy anyone to show me that they got as much out of "Squat Stands" than I did.

NOT Compatible with S-Series Squat Stand
I am currently starting the return process, so I'll update my review if Rogue makes this right, but I wanted to post a review in hopes of saving someone else money & headache.
While this Half Rack does bolt to the Infinity Squat stand, that's as far as it goes. It's not compatible in any other way. The Half Rack is actually sized as a Monster Lite (3x3) as opposed to the S-series Squat Stands (which is Infinity sized, 2x3). Nothing I currently own is compatible with the Half Rack - plate storage posts, j-cups, etc. Because of this, I am having to return the second infinity single plate storage holder I ordered & the one I currently own will have to stay on the squat stand instead of allowing me to move it to the half rack as desired. Additionally, I ordered the short plate storage posts & now I'm having to return the short bolts for the longer ones that will fit on the half rack.
Looking back over my order & the website, I do realize the website stated the measurements; however, it was only because I was specifically looking for them did I realize my mistake. When first glancing at the Half Rack Conversion Kit, it states (in bold letters) it's made for the S-series Squat Stands. If you claim an item is compatible with another item, it should actually be compatible - not just bolt on.
Additionally, I noticed if you order the Half Rack as whole, you are given the option for 90" uprights. Why was this not provided as an option for the S-series Half Rack Conversion Kit? After pulling them out of the package, I immediately wished they were taller. I ordered an extra pull-up bar as well in hopes of using the Half Rack uprights as a spot for a second pull-up bar & my rings. They are so short, only my son can use the pull-up bar now.
Overall, I am very dissatisfied with this product & feel it could have been much better thought out to make it a truly useful, compatible product - which is why people pay good money for Rogue products. Unfortunately shipping is so expensive & inconvenient, I can't justify returning the Half Rack. I'm hoping Rogues offers to help me out. If not, I'm stuck with it & I'll figure out how to make it work. Hopefully this review will help someone else out.

made my S2 rack event better!!
Love the typical bomb-proof Rogue construction! Was super easy to install. Gave me some extra storage and ability to have safety pipes.

Great addition
Picked this up as soon as I saw it come out. I have an S2 squat stand, this took about 20 minutes to add on to it (very easy). Looks great! I'm going to use it for squatting in and benching.
