Questions on the AEV 2.5 XT lift
Is anyone running this setup AEV dual sport xt lift on a 4 door with 35s? Do you like it? Is it worth it? Will it clear the 35s w/o rubbing? Please give me some advise. I just trade it my jeep for a 2013 i had a 2010 jku with a 3"bds ( bikstein shocks) so I am a little undecided on which lift should i get
Thanks
Thanks

I ran the AEV 2.5 for about 600miles. It was ok as long as you didnt flex a lot. Everytime i flexed it out I had problems with the brackets. I also think the AEV bilsteins are under damped for trail use. I would recommend this lift to someone that just wants to clear 34/35's and wont be on the trail much. Just my 2 cents...

You part of any clubs? I see you live in BC, maybe we'll see each other on a trail sometime.

Here's mine next to a stock 2 door.
I have the 2.5 AEV with 315/70/17 duratracks which measure 33.5" on the jeep. No rubbing on the trail but I don't climb over huge rocks either...
Here's a pick with the swaybar disconnected.
Hope that helps, I know some call these duratracks 35" but they are smaller than most.

Lift
How do you like the lift? Did you get the Bilstein shocks? Your Jeep looks awesome, I am ready to buy a iift this weekend. I heard if you go higher than 3" you need to replace some drive shaft parts in the 2012 2Door, have you heard this at all?

I'm definitely looking for something between 34" and a true 35", so I may need to re-think my plans.... :(
Anyone know of a comparable AT tire that measures much closer to 35"?
EDIT: What pressure are you running?
