AEV 2.5 dualsport lift or Rock Krawler 2.5 max travel?
I have a 2010 Jk that is in need of a lift. I am stuck between the AEV and Rock Krawler 2.5" lifts. both seem to have good reviews and are within my price range. The AEV lift is significantly cheaper but does not come with replacement control arms. I have gotten mixed messages about replacing the stock arms...is it worth the extra cost? Do the aftermarket bushings really make a great difference? Are the stock control arms stong enough for moderate off road use? Will the longer arms change improve my highway driving?

^ what he said...
IMO, the dual sport is great if you consider yourself more of an overlander than a rock crawler and if the question ever comes up regarding factory warranty, etc. I think it's one less thing the dealer can point a finger at since you can always argue that there are Jeep Dealerships that sell AEV vehicles on the showroom floor.
