Mine should be here middle to end of the week, I'll probably start installing it before it makes it off the truck. I'll let you know how it does

I have the 3.5" in a sport and my buddy has it in his rubicon. Both 4 drs. On road handling is awesome. Have only gone briefly off road with it, nothing major yet.

Default Just do it

I've put 25K miles on a 2 door Rubicon with the AEV 3.5 lift and have had no problems. Rides and handles great with 35" Kevlars.

I had the pleasure of riding with the engineer who designed that suspension when he was still with AEV. It was a 4 door rubicon with a hemi. He put that Jeep through manuevers I would not have beleived had I not been in the Jeep. High speed cornering, high speed rail road crossing (very rough), simulated avoidance manuevers. I orderd my 4.5 suspension at the conclusion of the test ride.

What size tires? I would think 35s but in the pic they look taller.
Beautiful.
