yes, but you can get a Rock Krawler or Metal Cloak 2.5/3.5" kit that will be perfect for 35s/37s AND have money left over for new drive shafts if necessary.

 

Yes on going with Rock Krawler. I have Teraflex and a buddy has RK...much better IMHO

 

I will not b doing much offroading. I like the look of 37's. Would I need new driveshafts with this kit?

 

I have the SC version of this kit which is the same except for the shocks. SC has non-resevoir shocks. Minevis a daily driver and I only do medium trails and touring. The AEV kits are great on the highways. I drove my Rubicon for 3000 miles before my brother and I installed the lift. I can easily say my jeep drives better than stock. I'm at 16k miles now and have never regretted spending the money.

There are lots of good kits that excell in different functions. The AEV has worked great for my Houston suburbia life with the occasional off road sight-seeing.

Good luck.

 

I had to get real honest my my needs and reality of my time off road.

I went AEV as it has the best reputation for onroad handling and will hold its own offroad.

The ride is subjective. It is a bit stiffer than stick but not uncomfortable. I've read another describe it as "euro-firm." I believe this is quite accurate.

All that said, I really have like my AEV 3.5 SC.

You can run a true 35" tire. 37" tires will require flat fenders if you disconnect offroad.

Very well said... If you are not 100 % honest with yourself in what you and your jeep really need then you my go the wrong way. Keep asking lots of questions this forum is got great Jeepers here that will offer up advice

 

AEV coils and tuned shocks are top notch. Install the kit and see what happens IF you have some money reserved for additional needs.

 

Howlong it take to install? Do i need any special tools?

Since you have a 2013 a new front driveshaft would be the correct way to do it. It is also possible to install an exhaust spacer kit which is a cheap solution.

If you even see your self going off road you might want to invest in a different kit that could be built off of. AEV is a nice product but is very expensive for what you get and not much room for improvement with out getting rid of parts that came with the kit.

Rock Krawler would be an excellent option that leaves tons of room for upgrades as your needs change.

PM us if you would like to discuss anything in detail. Good luck with your build and let us know if we can help you out along the way.
