Have not had a chance to wheel it on the trails yet but when I do I'll be sure to update, have a trip tentatively planned for a few weeks. I got close to 2 more inches than I had with a 2.5" bb lift, I feel like once it settles it will be more like 1.5". I will keep you posted on any changes.

Just joined the AEV club today. 2.5 XT. Now I hafta sit here and look at the boxes while I wait for my shorty TF speedbumps to arrive.

Much appreciation to Dave at Northridge for great service and a discount!

My JK Is an 08 so I did not have any problems with the exhaust and driveshaft, just the problem with getting the bolt for the LCA out on passenger side.

Any advice on the install?? I just bought the 3.5 RS lift for my 2011 unlimited. Still not sure if I will do it myself or take it to someone to have it done.

its easy,,,do it yourself,,,I installed the 4.5 SC on christmas day 2011.... and have since put about 12k miles on it... the only thing I had trouble with was the front springs,,,wish I had a spring compressor,,, but nothing a c-clamp and a nice pce of mahogany couldn't handle... if you do it yourself, they say 10- 12 hrs....for me, 1 day and a half...on my back, in a stoned filled parking lot...... its a great kit,,,stable both on road and off...good luck

ps... make sure to have flr stands to cradle frt axle, so you don't over stretch your sensor cables...if I had to do it again,I would get a spring compressor,,they only cost 15bucks or so, or rent one...

I'm very interested in the AEV 3.5" SC kit. As well, I see you are running the MB72/35" KM2 combo. Exactly what I plan to run as well.


They look good to me. I think I've made up my mind. Thanks for posting this.
