After 3.5" lift what is to be expected
After lifting 3.5" and adding 35,s what could be expected?
Is the drive shaft a big worry?
What else could be expected to wear out?
My AEV 3.5SC kit is on its way and it seems like there might be things to take care when lifting over 3"

EDIT: looks like that kit has bumpstops but I didn't see brake lines as part of the kit

I just installed this myself took about 8.5 hours I would get really familiar with the instructions both online and the paper ones that come with the lift itself cause there is a lot of stuff not in the paper instructions that are on the web instructions. I had to take apart the rear tower cause I was following paper instructions and had left over hardware, which I realized could not be right haha. As far as the drive shaft it's not too bad for moderate off roading I haven't disconnected end links yet so idk how full flex is yet.

That stuff should be in the kit. I've installed a few AEV & other brands and they all had the required parts for the install.

Oh and another thing bring a pry bar for that passenger side geometry correction bracket. Cause the exhaust is in the way and its a SOB to get the stock hardware out haha

yes the kist has brake line brackets to ensure long enough.....enough we will see when fitted
I am more concerendd about things like the driveshaft or maybe bushes in the controle arms. things that might suddenly be under strain?
Zone offroad the retailer is an authorised fitter and he is fitting for free in my case - lucky I guess. main thing is he has maybe fitted over 100 of these kits already so he should have all the niglies down - I hope
