Leveling Required?
Need some help:
I have a 2012 Rubi 2 door auto and plan on installing the AEV Premium front bumper and the AEV rear with tire carrier - I also plan on installing Pintler's with 285/70-17 Duratracs - I hadn't planned on a lift just yet.
Will this setup work or will i need a leveling kit?
Many thanks,
GZ

I'm not sure about the weight of the AEV bumpers but when I put on my Body Armor bumpers the rear was actually heavier than the front and ended up leveling my rig out just by installing them.
When you add a winch to the front, that weight gets you back to a factory rake.
The added weight of the bumpers will sag your entire Jeep, though, so a lift will be something you'll want unless you like the "lowered" look
