I love the AEV lift. I just wish I got the 4.5" with 38s or 40s instead...

That looks nice, I don't think they make the 4.5in for the two door, do they?

I'm pretty sure they don't... but that doesn't stop me from wanting one.

Pretty easy install. Scariest part was drilling out to 7/8" the steering drag link knuckle for the high steer, but if you take your time it's not a problem. Probably took about 12 hours total. Directions are pretty good, but I had to kinda fill in the blanks a couple times. If you have basic to moderate mechanical skills you'll be able to do it no problem.

Wow that's a long time, but I've heard it takes a while for this lift. Sounds like its worth it though.

I wonder what it would it wood take to put the 4.5 on a two door?
I think you could fit 37s with the 3.5 anyway. With all the proper trimming and a BL

You could probably throw it on faster by a couple hours, but I tend to take my time to avoid any mistakes and have attention to detail. That way it works great right away with no problems.

Definitly worth it. I am very happy with the results both form and function.
