Default Daily Driver Lift Options

Looking at AEV 2.5 lift with Geo Brackets on ordered KJURX. Plan on running 33" BFG Km2's on Pintlers. System to be installed by AEV after Jeep is built. Any feedback or pics of this setup would be appreciated. This Jeep will have many DD miles.

Just about Any JK when properly setup can be a daily driver...

i have a 4" lift with 37's and although its not my daily driver I take it on 300 mile road trips and the only thing is that every so often my rear tires will hit my factory fenders...

I am putting on flat fenders soon.

Agreed. I'm on about 4.25" and 37" and it's my DD. Hell, the closest off road park is a 3 hr interstate trip. Do it right and the tire size becomes less of an issue.

I have about 15000 miles on my '13 JUKR with 35" nitto trail grapplers and the AEV 2.5". It is my daily driver. when i first installed it i thought it actually rode smoother than the stock rubi suspension. The progressive rates coils work well. Obviously after almost a year i don't remember stock ride any more lol.
