You'll see plenty on opions if you searched on the forum. It's a cheaper alternative to control arms to center your axle but you loose ground clearance and can't fine tune your alignment.

All depends on your use for your jeep- look, play, ride, price

Great option for say a 2.5"-3" lift I think. A lot of people say the on road handling gets better and less flighty. I have them and I can confirm the same. I will have some available real soon since I'm putting front control arms on. So if your interested I'm some you can get them cheaper from me.

I'm running them and they made a huge difference than without them. Do you loose ground clearance, sure few inches. Unless you play on rocks or wheel hardcore then you will be just fine. They really do make all the difference even more so at highway speeds.

Love them so much (Rancho's) that I'm still undecided whether to remove with new arms or run both.

Check out the Rancho's. Pure beef compared to AEV's. One peace design and tuck nicely up into the factory mounts. AEV's are two pieces joined together but one side sits outside the factory mounts,

You do read a lot of negatives. If your rig is not seeing rocks you can pretty much just ignore all of them.

I like them a lot - cheap and I could put them on myself. Mine have slid over plenty of rocks and they do not complain!

x2 on all of the positive comments! I did them on mine about a month ago with 3.5" of lift and they made a really nice difference! Yes, if you're not going hardcore rock crawling, they will be fine! One of the best "cheap" upgrades you can make

Rancho has the same thing. Supposedly beefier.

Personally, I would hate to lose the clearance. I'm always dragging my belly.
