It just hit me. I must mod my Jeep NOW! That being said...
I want to go with the AEV 3.5 Dualsport in the future when I have the money. I wanted to know what the difference between the RS, SC, and ST is so I can find what is right for me. Anything you guys know will help.
In the meantime I want to still lift it. I was thinking about going with the AEV 2.0" Spacer Suspension. My main question is if I do this lift, can I then go to the 3.5" when I am ready. Also, is this a good idea? Bad idea? Should I go teraflex 2.5 instead? I want your guys input. And pictures of any of you guys that have either of these lifts would help to. Alright guys let me hear your opinions...

I have a 4.5" AEV kit on my 4-door JK that I inherited when I bought the Jeep used as a newbie. It has always done well on the street and mild trails, so I have no complaints there. However, I am now running much harder trails and I'm afraid that the AEV kit is just not designed for the punishment I've been giving it. After I finish each trail I literally have to go through every bolt in the suspension and re-torque them back down or risk a bad failure. I'm not a hater, I'm actually surprised it has lasted this long, but it is way past time for me to upgrade.
I should note that the AEV springs are really pretty good. I load a bunch of stuff in my Jeep while on some tough trails, and they really hold up well.
