AEV coils and shocks are arguably one of the best non-linear set ups. Pair that with SYNERGY adjustable CAs instead of drop brackets, and BAM! Definitely better than sex.

If you have to ask...
I have the 3" BDS on my 4-door. Does what it is supposed to do. I have read rumors that the Zone springs start sagging, but that is only hearsay, and the zone price does look pretty good.
The one thing I did note about my BDS lift is that it didn't correct the factory rake. Probably because I have an aftermarket bumper and a winch.

I have the 2012 Jk sport.
I have the BDS 3" lift also added the lower adjustable control arms, fox single steering stabilizer, front adjustable track bar, and rear adjustable track bar.
It was actually cheaper to order from a local dealer then straight from BDS.
I also went with 35" X 12.5 on 17" wheels with a 4.75 back spacing. But began rubbing so I had to add 1" wheel spacers.
The kit did come with the extension for the muffler, that was a two person job.
It easily clears 35" but am going to eventually add the metal cloak fenders to get a little more clearance when fully articulated.
I am having some issue when the alignment but went to brake check and spent $125.00 which also comes with lifetime warrant to realign for only $3.00.
Took about 8 hours total with air tools for install and adjustments.

Sent from the fast lane while driving one handed.

One more vote for AEV. The ride and handling are amazing, and it works great on the trail for everything except the most extreme rock crawling.
The install on my rig includes the Dualsport 2.5 kit, JKS discos and front track bar, and Terraflex Speedbumps. Works very well!

I've been very happy with my Rock Krawler 2.5" Flex system with Bilstein 5100's. ran it on my '07 and now on my 2013. Ride is very comfortable, handling is good and flexes like crazy.
