Getting the 4.5" AEV Dualsport installed right now on my 2012, should be ready by Wednesday if you want to PM me later this week and ask me what I think. They're advertising it as having the Bilstein Remote Reservoir shocks, but those are actually unavailable until probably January so I went with the Elkas.

In 2009 I originally had another lift on order from a 4x4 shop. I had the chance to take a demo ride with the AEV suspension engineer in a hemi equipped JK with the AEV 3.5 lift. I was blown away. I immediately cancelled the other order and bought an AEV 4.5 premium lift. I run 37s and have done Moab and lots of trails in CO. It is a great lift off road and fantastic on road. You cannot go wrong with AEV.

That's good to hear have you had any experience pulling a trailer with the AEV lift cause I plan on pulling my side by side. I was planning on going pretty much all AEV as far as lift, hood, an wheels and going with shrock works bumpers because of the options an aggressive look

I have the 4.5" premium on my 2011 Rubicon Unlimited and it is super nice. I use it as my daily driver back and forth from classes. It rides very nice on road and I have out it through it's paces off road. My next mod will be adjustable control arms, though.

I just ordered a AEV 2 inch spacer lift, I will post up after I install it, but from what I hear AEV are all high quality. I wheeled with a guy that had an AEV XJ and that was put together very well.
