Hot damn that is awesome, congrats to the winner, and way to go to go! Once I find a new job I can start saving up for this kit.
Now out of all the install pictures, the ones I really like are:

I've never seen a shop post pics that show they mark the bolts after tightening. This is in my opinion TOP NOTCH service that you will be hard pressed to find ANYWHERE!

EVO Manufacturing recently completed the development of their all new Jeep JK Wrangler, EVO MFG 4" DoubleD JK Bolt On Long Arm Kit and to help kick off its big release, they held a giveaway here on JK-Forum. One very lucky member from New Mexico, nmwranglerx, had his name drawn and won not only the EVO DoubleD Long Arm but the installation of it as well. In order to claim his prize he would be required to have the installation done at Off Road Evolution. So, he and his wife took some time off work and hit the road to Fullerton, California!
Here are some photos taken of the install at Off Road Evolution:
