if you are referring to the means upon how the coil overs are mounted on your jeep, both kits uses replacement towers up front. i personally like the ORE's setup better as it's super beefy and gets welded on to the frame. the other kit is a bolt on tube setup. in the rear, ORE uses an ingenious cantilever design (bolt on or weld on) that allows you to get maximum travel without having to cut into the body of your jeep or mount the coil overs well below the axle like the other kit requires. best part of the ORE kit is that the king coil over they use are custom valved and sprung specifically for their kit. once installed, you won't have any issues with your esp/bas system.

if you are the same george that i met the other day at ORE, i can assure you that you are getting a great setup and it's well worth the money.

WOL, from the way the evo rear setup mounts, would you think it could be used with the atomic axles? I can't quite tell from the pictures if there is anything above the axle that might have clearance issues.
I know you can't give me 100% certainty necessarily, but figured it'd be better to ask somebody who's had their eyes on the setup in person numerous times.
Thanks

honestly, i don't think so as the cantilever arms are mounted to the axle tube and the atomic axles are shaped so differently - but i can't say for sure. i suppose might be able to have off road evolution custom make brackets if they would fit.
