I have a 2018 JK that had several of these items on it when I bought it. Apologies if these are dumb questions.

1. Rear Bumper - I've tried AI and other methods to try and identify which OEM made this particular bumper. I always come back to AEV but cannot locate this exact one anywhere. It appears to be able to carry gasoline (yes, take of the cap and it smells like gas) as well as the rear cutout which I assume is some sort of mounting point for something.

Back Bumper Left - gas cap

2. Rear and front shocks are AEV obviously but if I want to change them out for something else, do I go the same length or do you recommend longer/shorter?

3. How do I know what type of lift (2", 3" etc) I have, can you tell by these photos?

 

The bumper looks to be AEV. the hole on the passenger side was for a tire carrier, and the cap was actually for water tank. they had a hand pump that would screw on where the cap is and then you'd have a water source on the trail. if someone put gas in there at some point then that is kinda screwed.

Google "jeep jk factory height" and you'll see a couple images that show where to measure at the front spring perches and the rear bump stop are to see what factory specs are and then compare to your measurements to determine what actual life height you have currently.

shock length is all relative to your use. do not go shorter. going too long can cause issues if you do technical wheeling.

 

Thanks resharp001 this is super helpful. Really appreciate the input. Thank you.
