Searched the forum and didn't find what I was looking for so I'm going to ask a question that might already has been answered. I have a 2012 Stock Sahara in which I'm looking to lift. Mind you that it is my DD which I put 60miles round trip on 5-6 days a week. I was wondering on people's thoughts of AEV 2.5 lift in which I plan on running a 33" tire. Does anyone have any pictures of the setup as I do not see a pic on their website. Also any thoughts if I went with their 3.5" lift and still run 33" tires or would that look goofy? Any and all pics of AEV lift pics with description would be appreciated. Also any comments good, bad, ugly on this company?

 

Are ever going to run bigger than 33"? If not stick with the 2.5" to keep your c.g. lower. Aev makes a great product. 33" would not look goofy, but 35" would look and perform better on the trail.

 

here's my 2012 with a 2.5 spacer lift and 35x12.50 R16's

 

Did you have to use flat fenders? looks great btw!

 

Here's a picture....(only one I have now)



I love the lift!

This is a 2.5 inch AEV lift with the front lower control arm drop brackets and 35" tires. That is one of the great things about a JK with this lift, 35s fit and never rub!

 

You could just get a leveling kit and put 33s on there. You might need to mess with the exhuast if you go with a 2.5 inch lift

 

If you wait 2 weeks I can post my pics. I have a 2.5 AEV lift in the mail. I already have 33's, but I love the look of 35's. Might upgrade once I wear these out. If you want to stick with your 33's, I would suggest going no bigger than 2.5. Depending on how weighted down your jeep is, you might actually net 3". If you get a 3.5, you might net 4" (especially if it's a 2 dr).....and at that point, I do believe 33"s would look goofy.

 

Here is crappy pic of the AEV 2.5 with stock 32's and then with 35's.

33's will be a little better, but I thought the 32's looked tiny. This is my DD and I drive about 25 miles highway and 10 surface roads daily. No complaints.

 

AEV 2.5 w/ CA brackets and flat fenders on 37s. Slowly realizing I'm an idiot.
