Here is a link to our install of the long arm setup...

ok i'm confused
the long arm kit includes front, rear, upper, and lower long arms and then add envy links for xtra $$$. it looks to me the envy links replace the control arms or do the control arms stay on and the envy links are xtra?? i'm not understanding why i need to get the long arm kit if the envy links replace the arms or am i completely wrong??
i must be wrong because it makes no sense to me to buy the long arm kit wth long arms, then spend more $$ on the envy links and not even use the long arms.
would someone clear this up please

i do want the envy links. looks like i will be calling evo soon and start checking everything out.
from what i can see so far, i will go with:
the long arm kit
coilover front
lever rear
envy links
king 14" front and king coilover rear
14" end links (might go wth the currie antirock)
rear end links
what is the purpose of the competition tune sway bar rear?

The competition sway bar is beefier and is integrated into the EVO lever. If you don't get it, you will have to reuse the factory sway bar.
Here is a pic of the EVO lever with the factory sway bar. You can see that under extreme flex, the factory sway bar will bow a bit..
Here is a pic of the competition tuned sway bar. It is integrated into the EVO lever rather then attached underneath like the factory one...

thank you wayoflifette, you have been a tremendous help on this.
seeing a pic of it physically bowing is a lot more helpful than someone just saying it will bow. i think i will add that to the list. i am trying to do this right the first go around, so if that means saving for another month then so be it. i have enjoyed my re lift but wish i had done more homework back then.

I just got off the phone with EVO about what is required to go from a stock '11 Rubi Unlimted to a full EVO setup running 35" or 37" tires.
For the front coilover system I was advised I would need:
EVO Coilover kit
EVO Lower control arms (adjustable) or similar
Adjustable Trackbar- Tereflex or similar
New front drive shaft-
Tereflex or EVO flip kit for front tie rods
For the rear lever system I was advised I would need:
EVO Lever system
SOME TYPE OF LIFT KIT ??
I was under the impression that the EVO kit provided an adjustable lift height from 3"-6". EVO's rep told me the lift kit provided the lift to the rear and not the EVO system. I looked at the photos of WOL's lever setup, and don't see any lift components other than the EVO lever on the rear. Am I missing something?

Also, with the EVO Lever you will need to relocate your exhaust.

They may have thought you only wanted to go with the front coilover system and a standard lift in the rear. There are quite a few members here who have done that and are very happy with it. If you go with the EVO Lever system in the rear, you will need some type of coilover to go with it. The King coilovers are sold separately and it is the coilovers that will provide the lift. ....
I'll take a look at your lever system setup to see where you relocated the exhaust.
I have heard you, and others, comment on the fantastic on-road handling of the EVO system. I'm curious, when you talk about the handling, are you comparing the EVO's handling to that of a car OR other 4 wheel drive veicles with large tires that you have driven? Is the on-road handling of the EVO comparable to, say, a stock F150 running stock tires?
Also, if I run 35" tires, what other modifications would others recomend be done while everything is torn apart? (i.e. axles, axle tube reinforcement, etc.) If I go with the EVO system, I'm already planning on installing the following kit options and parts:
EVO Front Coilover- 12” King shocks, Front HD Sway bar links, extended front brakelines, Rock stop air bump kit, adj lower control arms, adj track bar, replace front drive shaft, flip kit for tie rod ends.
EVO Rear Lever- skid plate, King coilovers, competition tuned sway bar, extended rear brakelines, rear Rockstop air bumps
Sorry for the long post and thanks for the help.
