How much has your lift settled?
Just wondering accorss the board how much peoples lifts have settled or lowered from when they were installed? If you could please provide some info about the lift, how much lift it had right after install, how long it has been on, and where it sits now.

My 2.5" AEV has't moved since I installed it on my fully outfitted Jeep last summer. 38.5" front and 39" rear measured from center-underside lip of the fenders.

I've got the rubicon express 3.5 and with a warn stubby front bumper and zeon 12 it sagged the front about an inch after about 6 months. Now a year later I'm finally getting matching rear bumper with tire carrier so I'll see if the back sags as well.

I'm going to change out my coils, I also have Rubicon Express 3.5. My front sagged about 1/2-3/4" , kinda disappointed on how much coils sagged after a year... Thinking of going with RK triple rate coils

Have any of these settled over time or only as you added more weight? I'm trying to figure out what is more likely the case as I am about to do a mod to adjust the pinion angle of the axle as I set it up with a new lift. If a lift sags too much over time isnt it going to throw the pinion angle and caster off?
