AEV Duel sport or Rubicon express
Need help. Looking to get 2.5 lift for daily driver and my two options are the AEV Dual sport XT Or the Rubicon Express standard 2.5. Price is cheaper for the RE by a few hundred dollars installed. Really looking for comfort being on the road 99%. Going to also but the Bilstein 5150s for either one. Any advice? Comments all welcome

I'd also get the geometry correction brackets for the control arms if you're worried about on-road performance.
I put the 2.5" Dualsport on my Jeep and on-road performance is much, MUCH better than stock. It's stiffer than the sport suspension, more predictable, and rides with more composure over rough pavement. I also have the geometry correction brackets installed.

Compare what you get with each one. Bilstein's came with the Dualsport kit when I had mine installed.

It looks great and rides even better. Get the brackets for sure and a adjustable Tracbar. I have a JKS and the CA bolt kit from Northridge. You will pay a little more but you will be very pleased.
