What does this have that the AEV kit doesn't? The AEV kit has brake line drop brackets, sway at relocation brackets, trackbar bracket and a new trackbar. And comes with shocks.

Depends on the actual lift height, which components came with the kit, where and how you drive, which model jk, etc. Which is why I suggested learning what the components do and what issues they are designed to fix.

The AEV kit is reputable, reasonably priced, complete, and rides great.

What more do you need ?
