Very interested in this lift. For those of you running bumpers and winches, how much height did you lose when you added the weight?

When I first installed the lift my gain with a heavy front bumper and winch (~200lbs) was about 2.75" on a jku with auto

I've got the 2.5 with geo correction brackets and toyo open country mt 35s. I love the set up. I did have to trim the pinch seams, and I threw the bushwacker flat fenders in there, and that really opened it all up.

I have the 4.5 AEV lft. It's great but wish the 2.5 was available back in 2009. I would do a 2.5 with flat fenders to hold my 37's.

Hi I have a AEV 2.5" with Geometry correction brackets and teraflex monster trac bar (couldnt stand how the wheels sat to one side) with 35" Falken Wildpeaks. Love the lift if I can just get my wheels balanced (have two bad tries that are getting replaced this week).

I have an AEV 2.5 with ego brackets and tire carrier. BFG KM2 35s on AEV Savegre wheels. Love it so far. Gonna lose the sway bar link brackets and install OEM rears in front. Brackets make my sway bar links slanted.

I gained 3'' of lift with AEV 2.5 XT with no heavy equipment added. But when I go to camping I load my truck pretty much heavy and doesn't sag at all.

I have a 2013 JKUR with the AEV 2.5 lift and Geo Brackets on 35" Mickey Thomson MTZ's. In total I got 4 inches of height between the tires and lift. I am also running Smitty Built XRC bumpers and tire rack and a winch.

I just installed the Teraflex front big rotors and caliper brakes with ceramic pads, much better stopping power.
