I have the AEV 3.5 lift. Overall I'm really happy with this set up but I do have some cons:

-Price
-Seems to pull to the left. I read on other forums that this is a common problem with the AEV 3.5 inch lifts. Still not a huge problem.
-I get a lot of scalloping on my front right tire. Might not have anything to do with my lift.

I read that some people running the Bilstien stabilizer were having pulling issues. Swapping it to I believe OME cured it. Tire scalloping is usually your toe setting is off.

Skyjacker dual stabilizer. Over-kill I know, but got a good deal on it
