Anyone installed an AEV lift? What you think?

Default Lift

I installed the AEV 2 spacer lift as I just wanted a slightly more aggressive look. I love it. It definitely raises the front 2" and the back maybe a tad less due to a spacer being removed, or so I was told. Of course now I want a higher lift but need to learn to control myself lol.

I installed a 4.5" premium lift a few months ago. Directions are fairly easy to follow and the lift is very straight forward. The only problem that I ran into was one of the bolts that had to be removed to install the caster correction drop brackets hit the passenger side exhaust and was kind of a pain to get out and back in. Besides that pretty easy install. Jeep rode and drove great after the lift.

Was looking at this one in particular. The only Guy I trust working on my jeep recommended it but was wondering how it drove. Sounds good.

I have the 3.5" Premium and can atest to the claim that it is better than stock. Might not be the best lift for serious offroading due to clearance, but certainly the best combination of on/off road performance IMO.

That's pretty much exactly what I heard.

There a custom build off a used set of warrior product tube doors. I had my local shop fabricate the frame and weld the extruded
