7:54's! I wish. I will probably end up putting a Ripp blower on it. I wish someone would come out with a Roots blower for low end grunt on this little motor. I have 870 lbs/ft of Torq at 2700 rpm on my Corvette and it provides just a little punch from a stop, makes the car a blast to drive. I will most likely stay with the 37x13.5. I will go 5:38 gears.

AEV

Best all-purpose, everyday lift out there. Also, their customer service and dedication to owners of their parts are second to none.

I would suggest a different tire. At least until the Mud Grapplers come in a true 37x12.5 setup. I went with the Goodyears w/ kevlar because they are a true('er) 37 inch tire measuring in at 36.8in. And there's still plenty of room for more. The 12.5 width is perfect too, flush with the fenders.

I have AEV 4.5 with Rock Krawler front LCA's. Great all round lift. High steer, shocks, and progressive springs are worth it. It also does not soley rely on weak factory track bar mounts.

Default AEV Kit

I just bought a 2010 Rubi and I'm going with the AEV 4.5 Premium and includes the Bilstein and steering upgrade and using 37's. Great way to go. The 1 thing I would do is your gears. I'm going with 5.38.



Quick Reply: Aev 4.5" premium or rc 6" x-series, which do i need??????
