aev 3.5, stock bumpers, and 35s
Hi anyone running the aev 3.5 with 35s and an otherwise stock jeep. Since the aev kit is designed to support their bumpers, hood and a winch I'm wondering if the lift will look too big for 35" km2s. Also will it ride a little too stiff without the extra weight? If anyone has actual lift heaight measurements, pics, or their impression on the ride quality i'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks

thats a nice comparison pics. im to interested in going up to 35's cause of the look but i dont want to void my warranty by re-gearing and im afraid of the power/mpg loss of the 3.73s/35's but man that looks good. i see u have a red fetish lol nice rides tho

Same comments as Rick. I may go 37's next, but this combo of AEV 3.5", 5.13 gears, and 35's is great on-road and very capable off-road. You won't be disappointed.

I thinking about this same set up for a 2012 2dr rubi 4:10 gears, notice any loss of power? May even do aev 4.5 with 37's, just worried the power loss will be too much.

Agree with everything stated, rides awesome, 4.10 gears are doable in my auto, but will be getting 5.13s, lifted with stock bumpers looks great, ride isn't harsh at all, now have rockhard front and LOD linked rear bumpers, may have softened the ride a little but hardly noticeable, this suspension is tuff but smooth, 100% satisfied with my choice.
