Only frustrating thing about FLEXIMOUNTS wall hangers is that they have a minimum height of 22" whereas their competition (Saferacks) can go as low as 12". This is useful because for a lot of standard height garages it allows you to install them between the garage door rails and the ceiling, giving you 32 square feet of storage each in a space that would otherwise be useless. Obviously a 22" or lower hang is more useful, but the two aren't mutually exclusive (filling different gaps in your garage).
That being said, if you have a 22" or more hang, this is cheaper than Costco's Saferacks while some people consider them better built.

Not as cheap as $138, but also no tax for me through saferack directly.
Edit: Costco may also have them on sale for easier returns.
Edit2: something else to consider: depending on how your trusses run, you may need to install a 2x4 to get proper support in the exact spot you're looking to install it. In my case, I have 18" of clearance above the garage door to work with and almost pulled the trigger on the 18"-33" version. But then remembered that my trusses run the same length I'm looking to install them. So I'd need a 2x4 like shown in the OP pictures to make it happen which would put me over 18".
Edit3: after some research, looks like the saferack 2 pack 4x8 have been on sale for $240 before. Fairly significant savings. I'll personally hold off.

BTW I purchased this in June for $161 so it doesn't seem like that great of a deal. That said, it's a great product that I absolutely love. Just don't be like me and install it too low (above my garage door). I discovered really quickly that garage doors need more clearance where they start to bend near the ceiling.

also unless the updated the pack, most annoying was their drill template didn't actually match the bars so made my own template.

Unfortunately I only have 4x7 space where I'd need this to go
