AEV's JK 3.5"/ 4.5" 4 Door Dual Sport RS Suspension Kit
Fellow Jeepers,
Anyone running AEV's JK 3.5"/ 4.5" 4 Door Dual Sport RS Suspension Kit?
If so, would you do it all over again?
I know the kits tend to be pricey, but there is something appealing about retaining the stock arms and geometry. Does the kit provide "full stuff" (e.g. tires up to the top of the fender well) flexibility?
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Prepare to take cover... AEV opinions tend to get a little heated. It's a good quality kit and provides a solid balance between offroad and street manners. It is NOT extreme though. If you are looking for mad dog off road capabilities you'll encounter less resistance looking at RK, or EVO, or...
Also, I'm not a big fan of non coil over lifts over 3.5". First off you don't need that extra inch more than you need the lower center of gravity, better off trimming your fenders to get the extra room for larger tires IMHO.
