I have the aev lift and words cant describe how well it rides and drives. TF is nice but if 95% of your driving is on road trust when I say aev is the only way to go. I wheel mostly on the beach and it performs well. I wouldnt do any crazy rock krawling but it is so nice on and off road.

I've just installed the AEV 2.5 kit last weekend and love it. It drives much nicer now.
I'm in the same boat you regarding bumper and tires. I put spidertrax wheel spacers on in prep for the 35's next year.
All in all it is a fabulous kit , well engineered and I'm very please :-)

Everything works in theory, and that includes progressive/dual/triple rate coils. A proper weight rated linear coil is better/best. Decide how soon weight is going to be added and then decide on the coil springs and and a set of shocks tuned those springs.
