I have the 2.5 lift on my two door. i netted exactly 3". I didn't use their brackets becuase i have after market lower control arms. After 4 months my lift has not settled at all so i would not bank on that too much.

 

No problem, it is easy to try the middle hole but agree with another poster the springs don't settle much over time. Also, that page 3 line 5 is for Non-AEV suspensions but if you've talked to them and they made the suggestion then obviously it's worth a shot. For sure a strange one, as mine handles so much better than stock which was the case on both my 2010 JKU and now on the 2013 JKUR. Granted I have heavy bumpers, a winch and dual batteries. Just makes me think you may have something else going on here. Good luck, hope you get it sorted out soon!

 

Thought I would report back on what I found out. I moved the upper control arms to the middle hole on the brackets this aftnoon and it solved my issues. No more wandr! i also stopped by the dealer today and measured a couple of stock Saharas as a reference and I ended up with 3.25" of lift out of my 2.5" AEV.

The funny yet sad thing is that the dealer, who actually does install many lifts, was bragging about the master mechanics that double checked my install. Sometime you just have to do it yourself!
