Hey guys, been a while since I posted on here but I figured that this was the spot for some evo info. Just installed a EVO high clearance long arm on my 2dr jk and i was wondering what grease i should use for all the johnny joints on the all of the arms. Tia

I use an all purpose molly grease.

Install looks good! Did you have any trouble with the mounts interfering with the evo sliders? I was told a long time ago that the rear control arm mount goes where the rear slider foot goes
 
Big time. Gonna make a bracket that keys off the metal of the body mount that the control arms are bolted to

Right in the way! I dont want to stress the control arm mount with the slider so that's why I'm going further down towards the end of the slider. If I try to mount a leg on the clean frame it's about 6" away from the middle one and then you have about a foot or so "unsupported".

Jesus that’s right in the way! Might be a way to put a new foot right in front of the mount

Well when you do figure out a new spot post up some pics so I can see! I have been putting off long arms for years because of the slider issue.

Here what I came up with. I could have added some gussets to it but I jacked the jeep up and the end of the rail next to the rear tire and it didn't bent at all. I think I'm gonna run with it for now. That being said I'm finally done lol 23396.jpg

That’s a well designed little tab connecting the slider to the body mount! Did you burn it in? Pics?
