Default AEV 3.5 lift!!!

Just bought a new Rubicon and to say the least I want to lift it! Has any one had used this lift on their JK? What are the Pro's and Con's? I want to maintain a good highway ride and this kit said that that the ride is even better then stock beacuse it gives the jk a better RC (roll center). Just would like to hear your thoughts.

Do a little searching. I know the search function is hard to use, you can't put in numbers. Try searching AEV or something.
It's not that people were laughing over it, just abit of arguing back and forth. AEV makes some good products . There was just an instance of someone wanting to pick a fight and troll, that's all.

AEV is the only lift that will do just about everything from rocks to expedition style offroad.

It is the only lift where with ~3.5" of lift and 35" tires your slalom speed actually is quicker than stick!

It is the lift I for sure will go with when i have the funds.

Hmmm, the only lift to do all of what you say, I dunno about that. You have proof of this?

Bad on any model jeep if you ask me. It's a cheap way to adjust caster.

seriously? its the only lift? Did AEV test other lifts on this slalom or just their own to make that statement? I thought AEV didnt gear the lift towards rockcrawling, it was gear to expedition offroad? maybe I'm wrong..

nothing wrong with the kit, you can always buy adjustable control arms seperate to complete the kit.

It's bad on anything that is intended for off road use, in my opinion.
