A Facebook friend shared some intel: it is a product from Superior Engineering out of AU.
"The link allows considerably more suspension travel with supporting modifications such as longer shocks and control arms etc and assists with the rectification of the "KDSS Lean" as commonly found in the 200 series.
TRC4308 includes a 50mm extension at the sway bar mount pivot, compared to the OE arm, allowing increased suspension travel for 200 Series with KDSS when modified to run long-travel shocks (length to be checked & confirmed prior to fitment)."

I believe that is only for the rear link. They still use the relocation bracket for the front.

Well that solves that problem. So we need two of these?

I don't think so (but I'm no expert). I think the US driver side has the KDSS arm pictured. If you are interested, why not call or email Cruiser Outfitters? They're an awesome vendor.
Just one per vehicle. You only have one KDSS Rear Arm.
I’ve had them in my truck for two years.
You might want to replace the rear brake lines with longer ones since this extended links will give you extra drop on the rear suspension. In my case the Russel SS braided rear brake lines were the limiting factor. I replaced them with SDHQ 4” extended length brake lines.
I’m not far from stock height but my kings do have quite a bit of extra travel, and I have no problem stuffing one tire hard against the bump stop, and the other to full shock extension, with stock links.
I guess this is primarily to help if you have significant lift? To get the sway bar closer to stock position in spite of that lift?

Would love to hear your thoughts after running it for a while. Did you need extended brake lines?
Does this actually fix KDSS lean?
Still happy with it. I installed @SDHQ 4” extended length brake lines. My truck never have KDSS lean.
If this part increases the length of the link does it also increase lever arm and decrease the effectiveness of the rear sway bar?
That's what I've been wondering. Increasing the length of one lever in a multi-lever system seems like it has to have an impact on how all those levers work together.
Look, we’re all looking to increase the length and the impact of our levers during the body roll uhh process. And if you happen to be a multi-lever together guy, that’s your thing, man.
That’s the Kinetic Dynamic Sexy Suspension for ya.
Well played.
