Thinking about ordering this lift soon and want to see some picts of it.
I know the cam bolt controversy and if needed will get different control arms. I assume most are running 35s with this, let me see how it looks Thanks!

FWIW, about a year ago, AEV replaced the cam bolts with drop brackets.

This post should explain the pros and con of them.

I have a 4 door, but I have Rock Krawler lower front control arms AND I added the drop brackets lol! I can always remove the brackets later on, but I drive so much on highway and city, the brackets have improved the ride. I have 35's on the 4.5, but go to AEV's forum and they have pics of 2 doors.

Did you kill your stock LCAs?

Nice looking rigg!!!!

No, they are Sitting in my garage. I actually added the brackets after I installed my RK arms. I put the brackets on to see if they improved ride like they claimed. My ride was fine, but noticed the Jeep didn't dive forward as much breaking hard on highway with them on. You give up some clearance but the RK arms are curved which compensates some of the loss in clearance.

I was looking online at the instructions and it discusses the use of cam bolts. I'm confused.

The lift should come with the drop brackets and supplemental instructions that tell you to disregard the cam bolt part of the main instructions.

ah I see, good info. Thank you.

The instructions for the drop brackets are here:

The original instructions have the cams.
