anyone using AEV or other 2 inch spacer systems, with upgraded bilstein or some other shock? looking for input and if a 34 inch tire
is feasible

 

I am using the AEV 2" spacer, stock shocks with extensions, duratrac tire 315/70-17 . I think i got that tire size right. Smaller than a true 35"
I installed it in early summer. No issues yet, plenty of clearance.

 

I'd send an updated pic, but i'm in a bad reception area, i'll send one later if you want

 

bump for anyone else

 

previous sahara setup with 1.75 inch front and rear daystar spacers. i used my stock shocks for a bit, but switched them out for 5100's. drove great and i ran 33.6 duratracs without issues. only thing i will say is, you might want to go bigger. i ran that setup for about 6 months and now I'm running JKS 2.5 inch springs, daystar 3/4 inch spacers for 3.25 inch total. switched out my 5100s for longer Fox shocks and added other do dads as well.

 

You might have a bit of tire rub with the flares at full flex. I think the kit comes with one inch bump stop extensions. If the 34" tires measure out closer to 33" once installed with weight on wheels you'll be good. You'll need wheel spacers or wheels with 4.5" or less backspacing.

 

I have a 2" Rancho Sport lift with RS9000XL shocks and 35" Toyo AT II tires. Just over 33.5" when mounted and under load, that's with front and rear aftermarket bumpers). Haven't had it off pavement since the 35s went on a few weeks ago Had 33s on before and had tons of room. Pics of both in my profile. Recommend the Racho with those shocks, ride is great.

Trip to CO in early January an we'll see if there's any rubbing issues. Doubt there will be for what ill be doing but can always go flat fenders.

 

Upgraded to Mopar 19/60 springs with Rubicon shocks in addition to my Teraflex 1.5" JK Leveling Kit. Only $250ish and the ride is great until I can buy a real lift. Very impressed with the differences compared to stock.
