ACOS?

Yes they work really good. Have a specific question about them?

Yea, what's the maximum lift height from them and will it clear 35's?
Also, are there any other mods that this kit requires? I've seen the specs but wondering what approximate height the kit was designed for?
I've been through all the mental gymnastics regarding 2" vs 3.5 and up... LCA, driveshafts... will probably add bilstien 5100's if they can be used now and later for 3.5 lift.

The rear spacers have a different range than the fronts.

I am seriously considering a set of front ones when I start adding weight to the front with the usual paraphanelia since I have a strong distaste for rake, and I am not sure that AEV will sell me a just a set of 4.5" springs to eliminate the sag.

The front ACOMs can provide 1-31/2" lift.

I know two guys who use them and they have had no issues. This is not a surprise to me because JKS has great engineering and manufacturing.
You can probably get a larger sampling if you create a poll question.

I believe the rears provide between 1.5"or 2" and up to 4" of lift.

If you set them to 2.5-3" you should be able to clear 35s just fine and also eliminate much of the rake if you want.

They're adjustable and expensive. They give you the ability to precisely set your lift heighth at each wheel. If you're just looking at BB vs spring lifts there are cheaper (and just as effective) ways of raising the JK. If you're thinking of ACOS and stock springs... I don't know if the OEM springs are all the stout once you start adding stuff.

I'm running ACOS f-r on top of the AEV 3.5" BTW.

The ever popular BBs use the stock springs, so I don't think the springs will be a glaring issue.

Are you running both front and back?

How much lift do you have dialed in the ACOS?

Used them to take the rake out of mine. I think the JK's even with the BDS 6.5" still rakes to the front so cranked them up 1/2".
