Default AEV Lift, Gears and Custom Seat Brackets... Done!

Had SBC do some work to my new JK last week. Top notch in every aspect and I am thrilled with my JK! They did AEV dualsport, 4.88's and probably the most interesting thing was to move both the driver and passenger seats back a few inches and lower approximately 2.5 inches. I looked at the Misch big boy brackets, but without dropping the seat down it was basically useless. I am 6'7" and needed a way to get under the sound bar. These brackets accomplished that and they are incredibly well built. SBC does fantastic work at reasonable prices.

Lift, with half doors off, beautiful day!

Any idea if they'll sell and ship a pair of those brackets they fabbed for you? I'm 6'8" and pretty sure that my rollcage is only going to save me from the shoulders down as it sits now.

I would imagine they would. Their number is 770-297-7005. According to a post on Facebook, they are not sure if they will mass market them, but are offering them on a one off basis for now.

Very nice looking rig! How do you like the 4.88 gears and 35"s?

Thanks very much - I'm happy with it but a lot of work left to do.

As for the gears, I like them! It's a little wound out at 75 MPH, but i rarely get up to that speed and the around town driving is fantastic. Haven't had a chance to go in the dirt yet, waiting for 500 miles on the gears to break them in.
