If you want real customer service and all the parts/hardware to install said kit don't even think about EVO. They seem to make well-engineered systems but have no idea how to run a company. Call RK, ask to speak to Adam. He'll answer any questions you might have. Nevermind that all their hard parts are backed by a lifetime warranty.
I have the Evo Long arms and I will say FUCK EVO

100% go RK - Adam is awesome there and if I ever build another Jeep I will go RK for sure and stay far FAR away from anything Evo

Sadly this seems to be the case with all but the most die-hard EVO fanboys.
I think the requirements to like their shit are - Pony Tail & YouTube channel

That gets free parts and install from them - so I’m sure he is a fan of them…

Nothing EVO fits good out of the box or as they manufactured it. Even their own stinger does NOT bolt to their own bumper. You have to drill your own holes, and on mine I hit frame rail doing so because the guide hole in the stinger was ever so slightly off..

That’s just one example, my super sagging springs are another. And my expensive ass bump stops that DO NOT ENGAGE under articulation are yet another 🤦🏻‍♂️

EVO long arm on since May 2021. Top notch parts, build quality, and flex is silly good.
I had to call and speak to EVO once, and got Mel on the phone right away. Wouldn't do it any other way! Flexing on my driveway below until stock D/S hit gas tank (now replaced with Adams 1350 for even more droop!)
Local CO trails this summer, Moab in October!

Oh and your front shocks will hit the frame
Installed rear Adams 1350 and no issues with gas tank skid now. Love the kit.

Youre not fully drooped out in the rear, you still have more shock travel, and your sway bar link will contact the shock before that, it will swing over enough to hit the gas tank still…

True there’s a hair more flex left and we’ll see what needs tweaking. That being said over 15” of travel means I expect some tweaking and modifying as I go. Still think the kit has amazing capability and build quality. Time will tell the rest.

Yeah it takes a bit of tweaking to get dialed for sure.

My front lower long arms Zerks hit the frame and sheared off first time flexing.

Top uppers hav sheared too now…. Got 1 greasing on some of them… most zerks gone now and kit has less than 10k miles on it..

Literally f*ck Evo and their shit parts and terrible engineering.
