Bought this conversion kit for my SML-1 rack to add stability and to stop the swaying, also added a crossmemember in the back. THING IS A TANK!!! Absolutely zero movement and allows for use of the matador dip attachment and weight pegs due to the newfound stability! Highly recommend

I like this conversion kit but there really needs to be a choice between 70, 80 and 90 inch uprights, depending on your height. If you are over 6ft, the hardware from the crossmember gets in the way of the J hooks, making impossible to set the bar at a comfortable height for squats. Please Rogue consider this as I would buy the 80 inch uprights. I also wish the hardware was black to blend in better with the rack. This conversion kit also needed to come with a crossmember to attach both sides together for needed stability. I ended up buying a pair of crossmembers that make this unit solid. Overall I'm pretty happy with my rig but feel it can't be utilized 100%. Please Rogue make 80 and 90 inch uprights! I also have an idea to fit the 90 inch uprights so they don't interfere withe pull up bar. If interested I would be happy to share! :)

I tell everybody to just don't mess around with other brands and just stick to Rogue when it comes to all these gym racks because they are second to nobody and the quality is just too good and the prices are expensive but also reasonable and well worth it and it's worth spending the money on and you will not regret it ever buying any Rogue rack

I originally bought the SML-2 90" Monster Lite squat stand and it was great; however, i wanted more plate storage and better stability for other exercises so I purchased the HR-2 half Rack conversion kit. Honestly, it's incredible. It provides a ton of stability, the added plate storage is extremely useful. The fit and finish is excellent and it's built like a tank. However, I have three recommendations to make this product better: 1. The HR-2 conversion kit only allows you to purchase 70" rear uprights. However, if you purchase the HR-2 standalone, you can choose 90" rear uprights for an additional $20. I would have preferred this option as the 70" rear uprights are a bit short, and if you are 6'2" or taller, the horizontal hardware will most likely interfere with your J-Cups when you squat. 2. This product should come with actual 3x3' hardware with 5/8" holes on the horizontal beams that connect the two sets of up rights. You are given a steel bar with the Rogue logo that looks nice, but it would have been nice to have actual crossmembers. 3. This product should come with a crossmember to connect the two rear uprights by default. You can purchase them separately, but that additional crossmember improves stability. I also used this crossmember to build an in-rack high- and low-cable system.

This thing is legit - when i do bar muscle ups, pull-ups, toes to bar etc. on the rig with the conversion kit installed there is virtually no movement and feels much more stable. Plus it makes room for additional plate storage which is nice. Already thinking about what kind of attachments I can use now. A little pricey with shipping costs, but I feel like it's definitely worth it.

Looks great and adds a ton of stability. However the powder coat on one of the top stabilizers had some chipping exposing a little bit of raw steel. I’m certain that’s not Rogue standard. Not terrible but kiiiinda disappointed that it was there. Other than that, sick addition to the home gym

Arrived within a few days of ordering, simple to put together, and looks great!! Got my plates up off the ground finally, relocated my dip bar holder so now it’s not in the way every time I squat, and repositioned my battle rope mount to a back post giving me a more convenient angle now to rattle the ropes from. Very happy with this purchase. Very affordable upgrade to my rack, though shipping is still a solid punch to the gut

As you can see in the video, this improves the rack’s ability to handle even the most shakey of gymnastics movements. The ability to have plate storage keeps the gym tidy, and prevents the rack from tipping. I did have to load some sandbags on the front legs, but only for BMU, other pull-ups the rack is solid enough. This is solid option if you can’t have a floor or wall mounted rack, but cannot afford a full cage or already have a squat stand.
