Huge AEV fan with the 3.5 Premium on my 2 door Rubi. Do not regret it one bit.

Default Let me add mine to the mix.....

Here's mine:

AEV 3.5" Premium Lift
AEV Premium Front Bumper with Skid plate
AEV Rear Bumper with tire carrier
AEV Argent Pintlers
35" BFG MT KM2
4.88 Gears
Warn XD9000i winch
IPF 900xs Driving Lights
Posion Spyder Evap Skid








The onroad manners are phenomenal. It rides so nice, once you are behind the wheel you will have no concept that you are driving a lift Jeep. It handles and responds so much better than stock. Bottom line is in my opinion, you can't go wrong.

Sheepdog, Good luck on your search... What part of New Jersey are you located? I had my whole setup done in NJ just over the PA line in Stewartsville NJ. Not sure I can say the name, but just pm me and I can give you more details if you need them.

Thanks guys for all the posts. I went to the ok4wd open house a week ago. I was able to speak to the AEV rep. He was kind enough to explain the suspension system to me. They also had a 4.5 lift to see. I would like to see a 3.5 and I dont know if its even possible but test drive it. It's a huge investment for me personally. Again, thanks for all the info!! Please keep it coming.

All AEV parts are second to none. Phenominal handling and extremely competent off road. I would not change my lift for anything, well maybe only the EVO double throwdown. I have the 4.5 in lift. Love it!

2 yrs on AEV 3.5" premium. Immediately handled better than stock. have grown from 35's to 37's and have "abused" my rig from Harlan to Moab and the Springs and Bilsteins still perform great. Don't short yourself go premium with high steer for best results.

What did you ad to your kit to fit 37s? Did you go flat fenders or did they just fit? Pics would be great. Thanks

I am a true believer in "staying as low cg as possible". To fit my MTR-K 37's I had to trim the rear rocker area and use my adjustable control arms to tweek axle position a bit. The fenders didn't matter for fit in either front or rear, it was all about the rear rocker area. I do now have flat fenders and I love the look. see pics in my profile album "Moab".
