You probably won't find many that have been recently done. The 3.5in AEV lift has been backordered since September. When I found out they were having availability issues, I searched high and low and could not find a 3.5in kit anywhere.

I ended up going with the 4.5in AEV Premium lift and 37s. Bucklisa was in the same boat, he went with the 4.5 lift and 35's.

I have yet to drive mine since the build was just completed, but the guys at the shop said they were impressed with the lift and components. A very good kit overall.

Last word on the block was that the AEV 3.5in might be available in late Feb, maybe March.

March ?????

Wow, I thought the supply chain problem for the 3.5" was solved in December.

I have the 3.5" but I am replacing the coils with the 4.5" ones because I am adding a bunch of dead weight to the front and back.

If anybody is interested in the 3.5" coil let me know?

TonyT

Yup, could be longer. The prior date was December, which would have been fine since I was waiting for the Savegre wheel release.

You shouldn't have any problems unloading those coils.

What is the price difference between the 3.5 and 4.5 ?

spinlock

The problem in the past was they only offer the 4.5" in the premium version which includes the drag link flip kit. This premium kit is ~$250 more than the base lift.

The difference between premium kits is only $66.00.

Always wanted to do it!!

Its only around $150. Let me tell you; I am so glad I went to the 4.5 with 35's. The look is not only nore bad ass looking, I have more articulation and room for 37's or adding more weight in the future. In addition. There is no wait on 4.5 vs. 3.5 and the 4.5 still has the Old Man Emu steering stabilizer instead of a smaller newly outsourced one. On another forum, apparently 3.5's are being shipped with rear non progressive rated springs causing some guys having to add spacers in the rear. Maybe this is why they had to delay future shippings? Also I recommend the the steering kit regardless (included on 4.5).I would add lower front CA's as well and at least a new front driveshaft. Good luck!
