Default EVO long arms

So looking on Off Road Evolution's website they have one Bolt On Long Arm kit available, The "Extreme High Clearance Long Arm Upgrade Kit"($2300). If i were to purchase this kit, what else would i need to purchase to make this a complete kit? (other than springs/shocks, bump stops, swaybar links, brake lines) My other guesses would be: Front and Rear Trackbar, and High Steer kit. What am i missing that i haven't mentioned and what components would you suggest to complete this kit?

Also, what is the difference between the Control arms that come in this kit and the control arms that are on Wayalife's Rubicat? (Is one type of arm better suited for street driving than the other?) The arms seen in this picture:

Thanks for all your help in advance (I'm just trying to learn so take it easy on me!)

Sean,

I hate to burst your bubble, but


The High Clearance Kit can ONLY be used with Coilovers. If you would use coils and shocks you would be extremely limiting your wheel travel. It just will not work. We do have the Double D bolt on Long arm kit. Includes everything you need to lift your JK

It features the same control arms and front control arm brackets as the high clearance kit. So when your ready for coilovers its a simple swap of the rear frame brackets and lower rear control arm brackets.

If you need furture info please let me know or give me a call

Chris

I say go bolt on coilovers and just replace your stock control arms with a set from rock Kramer, teraflex, currie, jks, or any other.

If your going coilovers you need arms that will take the flex and not blow out bushings. I suggest currie or the Evo mfg

Default Long Arm Kit

Will it work with any rear coilover kit or specifically with the EVO Lever kit?

EVO hasn't been on here since 2013 FYI. You may try reaching out to them directly.

Hope someone can answer your question.
