Default Teraflex BB w/VS9550 shocks!

Ok so I've been running this setup for about a year not and it seems that the ride gets more harsh every month. I'm thinking of changing the new AEV 2.5" suspension lift. I mean, everything bump or small pot hole I hit feel ABSOLUTELY terrible. Like my front tires are going to fly off! Any opinions on what would help out or reviews on the AEV suspension would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Check those shocks to see if they're leaking before u pull the trigger on anything new.

Check your shocks. All four of mine blew in the first year. Replaced by TF and sooooo much better.

Thanks for the quick response guys. I was thinking of changing them anyway to Bilstein 5100's for Fox shocks. I'm not going to add a new bumper but would you guys recomment changing to new coils as well instead of the spacers? rdubb1031 did you purchase adjustable lca's?

I just added one inch spacers and didn't notice any ride quality change, so take that for what it's worth. Also no lca's. I'd like to get some but I'll be watching Craigslist for a deal. The ride overall is much stiffer than stock and I personally wonder if bilsteins would help. Might be worth seeing if you can test drive a fellow members jk with that setup.
