Default New AEV 2" puck lift

Anyone running this one yet? Just curious.

Thinking about this + 1'' Daystar BL to run 35's.

What do ya'll think?

Thinking about doing the same thing, but holding off on the addition of the 1" BL until im in the market for bigger then the stock Rubi tires.
Im searching now for pics of rigs with the 2" BB and stock 32"s to help make up my mind to do this or start with the BL and stockers first

Ordered ours from Northridge on Friday. Hope to have it installed this weekend when we get back from vacation. We (wife and I) have a 2010 Sport 2 Door. Assuming all goes as planned, I would be happy to upload pictures.

I had a 2" lift and stock rubi tires on my last JK. It looked great and i plan to do something similar on my new one.

If i can i'll try to get some pictures but i'm limited to a government computer and it's hard to get data on and off due to that wikileaks thing...

Here's a pick of our JK with a 2 inch Daystar budget boost and the OEM 32 inch tires.

Thanks! they look great! Consider me decided I think BB first and add a BL(if needed) when i upgrade tires, will be the way to go.

From what I understand the AEV provides a 2" front and 1.75" rear lift.

Ok. Lift is installed, I have before pics but I need to wait until daylight to get the after pics.

Pretty straightforward install with the help of my friend, "07JKX". An air compressor is needed in my garage now! Only issue is the brake line drop brackets supplied would not fit no matter what we tried,have to call AEV about that.

The wife loves it (technically her Jeep) and I am loving the look, cant wait to wheel it again!
