Old Man Emu makes a nice 2". Awesome ride, strong, capable. No regrets.

I went from a teraflex 2.5" coil lift to an AEV 3.5" night and day difference. The AEV kit rides so much better, better then stock I'd say. The teraflex with 5100s wasn't horrible, but doesn't come close to comparing the my AEV

I have the AEV 3.5 and LOVE IT. it is excellent lift all around. expensive yes but well worth it in my opinion. my rig rides like a caddy. so their 2 inch lift has to be just at good. I have heard the RE is top notch but i'm stuck on AEV now that i have some of their parts. my 2 cents

I ended up with almost all AEV parts. 3.5" dual sport RS lift, front and rear bumpers with tire carrier, and corner guards, along with a few other things

That's interesting. Maybe it's because I have the 3.5 inch kit that is progressive rate in front and straight rate in the rear. Right now in the rear I have a 1.25" spacer and that was just to make the Jeep level. And I have a light weight carrier, stock rear bumper, and a 34" tire on the back. So if I had a different set up, the difference would probably be 2" from front to back. BUT going back to the point, they make great products and I don't have a regret buying Rock Krawler. I won't buy them again though, as I'm going to put my money toward the Metal Cloak Game Changer and then some diapers after I wet myself the first time I take it out.
