I have the AEV DS 3.5 RS Lift and i couldn't be happier!! The ride is better (IMO) than stock and although it does not flex as well as some of the other kits out there it does get the job done on some of the harder trails. i am not currently using the LCA drop brackets for the front and have not had any issues with my JKU. i have a very heavy rear bumper and a moderate weight front bumper with winch and have not noticed more than a 1/4 of sag in the rear mainly from the weight. i regularly go out on camping and 4 wheeling trips that require me to carry lots of weight to the trail and tools and parts on the trail and the AEV kit has yet to let me down. I paired the kit with Currie Anti Rock Sway Bars front and rear to do away disconnecting and maintain the added sway bar control on the rocky trails and in the desert. I would highly recommend this kit to anyone looking for a great quality and reliable lift.
it took me about 7 hours by myself with basic hand tools and 1 jack and 2 jack stands in my apartment building parking lot space to install this lift

I'll play. Been running this lift on my 2 door for about a month now and I'm quite happy. Great on road performance and didn't do too shabby on the rocks either. Not going to win any flexing contests but works great for the weekend wheeler.
I'm running 35" Goodyear MTRs with the plan to go to flat fenders and 37s with the same lift.

You mean they forgot to send you the bump stop base that bolts to the top of the axle? IIRC the kit doesn't come with new bump stops just the pieces that bolt on to the pad. You might as well wait on them because on the front you'll have to put that spacer in before you put the spring in.
