Default Evo build. What things I will need?

I am in the process of doing a complete Evo suspension upgrade. I currently have a 4.5" premium AEV lift on the Jeep now(2007 JKU) I have already purchased the front coilover kit with the 12" kings ect. I am going to be getting the lever kit and the long arm upgrade in the near future and plan on having it installed at Northridge 4x4. My question: is there anything else that I might need that doesn't come in the kit. I just don't want to have any surprises during the install. Also is it worth getting the envy links or just go with the steel arms?

is it safe to assume you're planning on getting the evo long arm kit to go with the coil overs? it is why you are asking about the envy links vs. the steel arms right? because, if you're not planning on getting their long arm kit, you will not be able to install their envy links but, you will still need to get a set of adjustable control arms. the only other thing i would recommend getting if you get the evo lever too is a currie anti-rock sway bar system for the rear. while it isn't required, i think you will be happier with that setup over the stock sway bar.

I will be getting the long arm kit that is why I was asking about the envy links. I have noticed quite a few people running the FT long arms with this kit also. Any preference there? Thanks for the advice on the Anti-rock.

One other question. I have the Hemi 5.7 VVT and am wondering what people were doing for exhaust with the evo lever, and any other things that may be different as compared to the 3.8. Thanks.

Just wanted to shout out a thanks to Andrew at EVO Mfg. Great to deal with, answered all of my questions. Thanks again. I have ordered my rear lever kit and will be ordering my EVO long arm kit in the next few weeks. Looking forward to trying it out when it's all done.

Andrew is definitely the MAN! You will not be disappointed with your EVO investment. BTW, thanks for your service (if you are active duty or contractor) brother!

I love my EVO stuff, I still have a ways to go before Offroad EVO has seen the last of me. I'll be back in RC East in a few months for a 4 month trip, which will help fund the 5.7VVT that Mel and his EVO crew will install!
