I have been looking at the AEV 2.5 also.

justanothermoparman - what are you going to be using your rig for?

I drive 100 miles a day to and from work, mostly highway and some side streets. Therefore I am looking more for road comfort more than crawling over rocks.

Good thread

Off Road Werehouse was selling TF 2.5" coils with Fox or Bilstine shocks for around $850 or $750. I have the Fox kit and it works great. You will need to get a adjustable front track bar and front lower LCA would be nice to have.
