HELP with AEV 2.5 lift
So I'm installing this lift on my JK this Sunday,....weather permitting. I've got the control arm correction brackets as well as jks quicker discos. The instructions are pretty vague, but I'm confident ill get it done. I just have one question, and if anyone can help me out, that's be great. 2 of my coils are a bit longer than the other two? Are those the ones that go up front? Any tips/tricks/help would be fantastic!

If they are like the OME ones yes longer skinny ones up front short fat tapered ones n back

Yes, according to their website, they're tailored exactly like the Original manufacturers equipment. Thanks!

To make it easier be sure to get a good spring compressor. My Old Man Emu's were a bit tight even with everything disconnected and just follow the directions it seems intimidating but its not really. Enjoy the fun

If you have a buddy with a hydraulic lift i recomment it! Its alot easier! Theres a way to just drop the axle and the coils should slip right out. On the other note your local auto store rents out spring compressors or harbor frieght has them on the cheap just be careful and patient.

Thanks for the tips guys! Unfortunately I don't know anyone with hydraulic lifts. Once I move into a place with a garage....or enough land to build one....ill definitely be getting one. Until then, I've got a a floor jack, and I'm getting two 6 ton jackstands. Hopefully ill have enough lift to drop the axel far enough. I'm excited...but to be honest I'm a bit overwhelmed. I just don't feel like spending 700$-1000$ to have my local shop do it. Are there any special tools I need? Instructions just say 3/8 drill bit (to install the bumpstop), and basic hand tools. Thanks again guys!

Rather than renting a compressor, use the rental $ to have the right jack and jack stands on hand. Its safer than a compressor and the whole job will be easier. Here are some notes I posted after doing mine: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-s...jks-tf-242035/ |

With the stands set to about 17" the springs could have been a couple inches longer and still slipped in and out no sweat. That's without even disconnecting the drive shaft.

Alright, that link put my mind at ease a bit. Thanks for that! Im glad I won't have to disconnect the driveshaft. I notice there aren't any brackets for the rear end sway bar connects. I got the JKs quick discos, but will I need anything for the rear end?
