looking for a 2.5 lift can't decide which one teraflex or aev i like the aev because it looks more adjustable for alignments and what not. any thoughts?

 

I have the AEV 2.5" lift and i love it. With stock bumpers it was actually lifted 3"-3.5" My jeep is a daily driver with some mild off-roading. Mostly established jeep trails. For that use i think the AEV lift is a good way to go. Also i Live in Missoula Montana where AEV was founded and know some of the guys that work there so i am probably biased haha.

I've only driven JK's with AEV lifts on them but have ridden in a family friends that has a TF lift. Both rides are a bit more rigid and seem to handle better than stock (Im assuming on the TF kit as i was only riding along). My JK's braking improved greatly with the lift installed. The gas mileage isn't affected much at this height, i lost maybe 1mpg if that(with 32's).

Most folks on this forum will steer you in the direction of TeraFlex because they tend to be cheaper for just as good of a lift. TeraFlex actually is the more adjustable of the two lifts.

If you do go with AEV i suggest getting the control arm drop brackets. They make the jeep handle a hell of a lot better on and off road.

Either way you will be happy with either company, sorry if thats not much help haha!

 

no worries i appreciate it! i'm just trying to gather some jeepers opinions! have you had any drive shaft or exhaust issues being that the lift was higher then 3? how long has it been on?

 

starting to look at the rock crawler lifts now too, bit more then i want to spend but from what i hear will save me money on fixing stuff down the road!
