Default OME and long arm kit

as of right now I have Northridge OME kit with JKS track bars and Factory Control arms. I am going to be going to the EVO coilover front and rear. I know I need a long arm kit for the evo system, just wondering if I could do the long arm now with OME kit or wait till I upgrase to the EVO system. Also would like some input on which long arm kit to use with the evo.

You can use the Evo mfg bolt on long arm kit (welding optional) on your OME kit. Then when you upgrade to coil overs you'll be good to go!

The kit features Currie Johnny joints on both ends. Which are proven to take the flex of our coil over systems.

Thanks for the info!! As of right now the plan is to move up to 40s with using the evo coilover front and rear, before they get me, going to upgrade the axles to (rock jock 3 60s) but like most it will take a little time can only put away about $15000 a year, still trying to get a plan together. I was figuring about $40000 to complete this stage

Thanks for the info, I have the same situation. I am more interested in articulation in the future when the coilovers are installed, but would like to go with long control arms to improve the ride quality.

Do you have a part number for the Long Arm kit?

Thanks

Hmm interesting, I run my JKS arms fine with the Rebel Coilovers.
