so i think ive narrowed down my choice for lift to the AEV kit AEV JK DualSport XT Suspension - 2.5 inch - 4 Door
i think i would need geometry brackets for this kit as well to correct the caster is there any other parts I should grab along with this? or suggestions for additions or a better more complete kit for the price?
its going on a 2010 jk sahara 4dr 6spd with flat fenders and new bumpers i already have the set of 37s toyo MTs in the garage

 

other option i took a look at was the metalcloak dual rate but that said 6 weeks to ship from northridge and i dont exactly want to wait that long

 

There are a lot of fans of AEV lifts, but I tend to like adjustable components, not brackets for everything. So between those two, my vote goes to waiting for MC.

For the caster question - everyone will have their own opinion. Drive it with the lift and see what 'you' think of the steering. Too flighty, add some form of correction.

 

The AEV 2.5 is a nice lift, but I'd go with front lower adjustable control arms. The brackets put the lower control arms way too low for only a 2.5" lift. I had the brackets for a year and switched to Synergy front lower adjustable control arms and didn't notice much of a difference.

I moved the rear sway links to the front and installed longer rear links.

I replaced the stock front track bar with a Teraflex Monster track bar because it was free. I also have a Synergy drag link, tie rod and ball joints that I'll install soon.

It's a nice set up and will be even better when I install the Synergy stuff.

 

Yea I do a decent amount of highway not a ton. But enough that I definitely don't want it flighty

 

Other issue I have in mind is which parts I want to Frankenstein together

 

And what I'm going to do for track bar
