This appears to be a 3.5 lift since I see a OME steering stabilizer up high with a steering flip kit.

How do you like the ride of the AEV 2.5" suspension? Just curious because thinking of switching to this setup with the geometry brackets.

I love it. Drives 10x stock... Handles much better - very little body roll, great overall ride characteristics, very smooth.. in my opinion AEV hit the nail on the head in regard to making the suspension firm enough to handle well while at the same time allowing it to absorb bumps/ trails etc... I feel as if this kit makes the jeep almost drive as if it's not really a wrangler anymore in that it actually can handle... check out "AEV track day" on youtube.. at first i thought this video was complete bullshit but after some "testing," it's not.

In regards to the geometry correction brackets, I intended to install them but decided not to because I had some aftermarket welded on parts I didn't want to mess with. I didn't notice a top heavy ride or anything. It really rides great with the 2.5" dualsport, and my 35"'s. I ended up selling the brackets because I really had no need for them.
