Ok so I just bought a 2015 JKUR Hard Rock and made up my mind I want to run 37's. I'm stuck between buying the 4" EVO enforcer with 2.0 shocks with the drag flip kit etc... or the 4.5" AEV dual lift with reservoir shock up grade. My top priority is to have the best ride possible on the road. I will not be taking the jeep rock crawling! It seems as if the AEV lift comes with more components. Would love to hear what y'alls advice would be!

 

Btw I have the PS front and rear fender flares so would it be smarter to maybe go with the 3 inch or 3 1/2 inch since I'm not taking it off road?

 

With flat flares you can go with 2.5" or 3.5" lift. AEV and EVO both have junk drag link flip kits. They both use a stock RHD drag link which is garbage, especially for 37" tires.

If you're purely looking for on ride performance AEV will have good road manners, but AEV retains/uses OEM components which will quickly wear out with 37s. I went with the simple AEV 2.5" and added Synergy front track bar, front lower adjustable control arms, drag link, tie rod and ball joints. With 35s it's equally great off road and driving around town.

I'd go with the Synergy drag link flip kit.

 

If you're not taking it off road, then body spacers and bigger bump stops will allow you to fit 37s and not change any of the stock drive line and suspension setup, so will drive like stock or a close as you can get with 100 lbs+ lumps in each corners.

Bigger tie rods, drag links, etc. Don't think you are going to see anything in the mall parking lot that will be breaking or bending these, so you can stick with the stock items. Yes parts will wear out quicker with the extra loads but you're not trying to build something that can get you out of nowhere, AAA are quite happy to come get you from local Walmart.

 

Thanks NCB for the advice with drag kit!

 

I'd go with the AEV 31/2" kit , will you be re gearing also ?

 

Thanks for your input, Yes I will be adding 5:13's

 

Would advise against going that high with 37s on a 3.6 motor..

 

should I keep my 4:88?

 

4.88 on the 3.6 and 37s is plenty. I had the same setup and didn't like driving much over 70 due to the RPMs. I had a manual trans. An auto would have slightly higher rpm.
