Evo bolt on or high clearance long arms

the difference is that the high clearance long arm kit welds onto the inside of the vehicle frame while the standard long arm welds (or bolts) to the underside of the frame just like the OEM control arms do.
the high clearance is going to give you, well better ground clearance while wheeling and the standard long arm will give you better performance on the highway and at higher speeds.

this is correct. you can run it either way with the LCG Bolt-On system
EDIT:
BUILDER NOTE - While it has been mentioned a number of times on many different threads as well as THIS thread, its seems I must clarify. While the EVO MFG High Clearance Long Arm kit will work with the EVO MFG LCG Bolt-On Coil-Over kit, it does remove the REAR LOWER SHOCK Mount to allow for the HIGH CLEARANCE Axle Side Lower Control Arm Mount, so in order for ANY shock to be mounted to the axle while using the EVO MFG High Clearance Long Arm kit, a NEW REAR LOWER SHOCK Mount will NEED to be Fabricated. This is NOT a part that neither EVO MFG nor OFF ROAD EVOLUTION make or will provide.

the "standard" mount location long arm is going to give you a little better "on highway" ride vs. the high clearance location.

Caught the Bug
They are more forward in front of the tire so I have noticed mine getting hung up on the mounts more than they did stock. I am going to have EVO install the high clearance brackets next spring.
new brackets will be required at the rear axle. the bracket required will also depend on whether you are running coilover, lever, etc...
