My 2.5" AEV has't moved since I installed it on my fully outfitted Jeep last summer. 38.5" front and 39" rear measured from center-underside lip of the fenders.

I've got the rubicon express 3.5 and with a warn stubby front bumper and zeon 12 it sagged the front about an inch after about 6 months. Now a year later I'm finally getting matching rear bumper with tire carrier so I'll see if the back sags as well.

I'm going to change out my coils, I also have Rubicon Express 3.5. My front sagged about 1/2-3/4" , kinda disappointed on how much coils sagged after a year... Thinking of going with RK triple rate coils

Hard to tell from the pic but the front end of mine has sagged since I put the coils on last December. RK 2.5" right before they went 2 door/ 4 door specific so I guess it's a 3.5" lift now.

Have any of these settled over time or only as you added more weight? I'm trying to figure out what is more likely the case as I am about to do a mod to adjust the pinion angle of the axle as I set it up with a new lift. If a lift sags too much over time isnt it going to throw the pinion angle and caster off?
