AEV 3.5 lift!!!
Cam bolts are not my first choice although they have been around a long time and do work well but dont miss out on this sweet lift just because your worried about cam bolts. I purchased front lower adjustable control arms to make up for the cam bolts. One of main reason AEV keeps the stock control arms is because of the rubber bushings and how smooth they are. JKS came out with really nice adjustable control arms that have OEM style rubber bushings. This lift handles awesome, trust me you wont regret it one bit. Ive been driving jeeps for 15 years and this jeep with 37's and and 3.5 inch lift handles unlike any other jeep Ive ever driven.


The same can be said about every lift and lift manufacturer out there. One company may have bushings that aren't very durable, another may have horrible geometry, another poor shocks, etc... I can say that there is no company out there that is 100% complete and perfect.
I find it very interesting that people comment and make assumptions on something they don't own or operate. The OP is asking people if they have used this lift or have it on their JK, if thats not you, then your comments have no validity. If your concern is about cam bolts than get over it and buy control arms.
I never intend on running a slalom coarse with my jeep, but what ever makes it capable of that also makes it sweet for driving around town. Im sure theres quite a few guys (and girls) out there that drive their JK's on the road a lot and would like to have excellent on road mannerisms.
I have a TJ "Rock crawler" and hate driving it long distances and even though my JK is not my daily driver, I would drive it anywhere. For the past 11 years I've trailering jeeps across the country to go wheel'n and now theres another option. With the long wheel base, 4 doors, more storage and the excellent road mannerism, I am now interested in driving my JK long distances to go wheel'n.
There are several new JK lifts that are sweet, just find one that your comfortable with and roll with it and dont look back.

ive had the lift on my rubicon 4 door, for about 2 months. i was the same as you as far as the handling was concerned. with out going overboard on the lift itself, this is the best kit ive ever had on a jeep. the on road handling is awsome. i drive it out of town regularly 4-10 hours. this is my 6th jeep yj tj jk . this is my 4th brand of lift and i can honestly say it the best ive had. its worth the premium kit for sure.
They add the same Bilstein shocks that alot of companies are using specifically valved for the jk. Shocks can make a big difference in the ride of any lift as far as the ability to absorb bumps.
They may look the same but companies can choose the compression and rebound damping on the Bilstein 5100 shocks. They really aren't the same as the ones that are offered from Superlift, Rubicon Express, etc... It is just like how Mel can get the a specific valving for the King shocks and coilovers. Other companies may offer the same brand and style, but they really aren't the same on the inside.
