Yeah it a stocker. And you are good to go with the fliped draglink as long as you bump up your trackbar bracket axle side to match

Why EVO? Their kit uses an OEM RH drive drag link.

I've read some good reviews on it. The main thing was it raised the track bar bracket from the axle instead of lowering it from the frame. I was reading it corrects the angle and steering geometry better that way if I understood that right (correct me if I'm wrong). Before I changed my mind to the eve I was looking into the teraflex kit with the frame brace. It looks like that was a drop bracket that lowered the track bar from the frame, and it involved some welding as well

There's many track bar brackets out there that raise the axle side mount. Synergy and artec both make a weld on. Synergy makes a bolt on. Synergy makes what they call a steering correction kit. It's the drag link flip, raised track bar bracket and a stabilizer relocation kit. I'd suggest calling the guys from smashboogie and ordering this. You'll be better off in the long run with this over the evo or aev high steer kits.

But to take a step back... Why do you think you need a drag link flip? How much lift do you have? What components came with the lift?
