AEV 2in. leveling kit on JK??
I ordered some 33in. M/T ATZ LT285/70R17 and 17in. M/T rim's and now I want to order AEV 2in. spacer kit. I think 2 inches is all I need. Any thoughts on the AEV 2in. spacer kit, or should I go with terra flex 2.5 spacer kit?
Thanks

You should have no issues. Most people go WAAAAYYYYYY overboard with their suspensions. a good tire on a stock jeep will go MANY places you would not think. I think any 2-2.5" is more than enough for 90 percent of the people who drive jeeps. Yes, huge 37;s and big lifts are needed for rocks, but 90 percent of people drive their rigs daily and that stuff is just not needed. Good choice on the AEV. great setup.

Nice choice on the Mickeys same as what I'm running, just over 30,000km. TF leveling kit as well, and very happy with this set up!

Me too. ha ha.
The amount of problems that happens with bigger lifts/tires/etc are just not worth it. The only way I would go bigger than what I have is to buy an AEV Jeep. I would go 3.5" and 35s then, but with the hemi.
Going with brackets etc for trackbars, and what not is just one other thing to worry about. With the leveling kit setup, you keep all stock parts, no brackets etc and still get a good lift compared to a stock jeep. 100 percent happy with mine.
Its much better to run stock parts like springs etc as they are much less prone to sag, but still will over time. I have 125k on my 2011 JKU and mine still look like they did when new. I have been measuring them regularly. I am going to 19/60s for a bit of extra weight capacity. I thought mine were sagged but my rear shocks were toast and some how caused one side of my jeep to lean, after my monroes were installed everything was all leveled again.
