AEV's drop brackets change four distinct parameters:
- Lowers arm angle for ride quality.
- Lowers the instant center for better braking (antidive).
- Decreases operating angle of the driveshaft by reducing the range of travel.
- Corrects caster angles.
I would agree, after a test drive that all above is true, except I did not notice a difference in anti-dive. In their defense, I only have a 2 1/2" lift on the front, and they are adjustable for 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" lifts.
I was looking to slow down the steering a bit since it was a little jumpy with the caster change of the 2 1/2" lift, and they work well.

Makes a big difference doesn't it? I made custome cam washers for my 2007 Jk and went with 6 degrees and although I haven't driven my new AEV brackets much yet, I think they did the same thing as the AEV brackets. Can't deny the engineering though, the AEV setup gives me more of a warm fuzzy than the stainless washers that I waterjetted for the 2007.

Installed Teraflex leveling kit last night.
