Thanks a lot for the comment, this is only a 2.5" lift and didn't require new driveshafts. I did add the teraflex exhaust spacers but just for peace of mind, not because I had an issue. I'm not sure if the 2 door requires new driveshafts first hand but the AEV site states that it is not required with their 2.5" kit. Oh and yes this kit came with bilsteins.

I'm definitely looking for something between 34" and a true 35", so I may need to re-think my plans.... :(

Anyone know of a comparable AT tire that measures much closer to 35"?

EDIT: What pressure are you running?
Yeah, I was expecting them to be a bit bigger, I'm running ~35psi.

Wow, that's even higher than many suggest for those (usually 32 or 33psi). I can't imagine them being even smaller. You may as well get a true 33" tire at that point!

I guess I need to do some more research...

Love it. Would buy it again. I would not recommend it if you plan on doing serious rock crawling but for mild trails it's been great.

You part of any clubs? I see you live in BC, maybe we'll see each other on a trail sometime.
I was running 315's that came out to 33.8 with the AEV lift. I'm much happier with my current set up now. Sent you a pm with the club info...
