Yes, that's it exactly. I also used the AEV Geometry Correction Brackets. I may change the brackets to adjustable CAs in the future but for now its working great.

The next set of tires will be bigger than the stock 32s, maybe an inch or two.

Freewill- thanks for the pictures. Jeep looks good.

The aev 2.5 looks like it maintains the factory rake. Has anyone added a coil spacer to bring the front up a bit?

I bet the hemi orange paint makes all the difference. Have you ever run anything else? Besides stock.

I did the exact same as matprovo! Just installed my bilsteins after about 5000 miles.

Note my front shocks both broke coming off so I would suggest doing the shocks at the same time as the coils.

That picture was taken from down low with a wide-angle lens. Can't trust it to judge rake at all. There is little or no rake.

I hated my Teraflex coils they road like shit and were quick to unseat due to them being short linear coils. Every other progressive coil rig I have been in rides way better on and off road.

If I was the OP I would stay away from Teraflex

5100's with Evo plush coils rode awesome together. Now using Fox 2.0 remote res shocks with the plush coils. Stiffer ride on road in comparison to the 5100's.
