Ok I have had my mind set on the AEV 4.5 in suspension for my 2013 JKUR. But now reading reviews by others not on their website, I am kinda thinking it is great for the road but not so much off of it. I want 37's and flex, but it is also a daily driver and most of the trailing and crawling will be done on the weekend. Also would like to keep away from modifying the driveline for the time being. Any suggestions? Is it possible to keep my electronic sway bar disconnect? Would like to keep the cost around $3000 for just the suspension.

 

$3000 for parts or parts and labor?
If I were doing it again I would go for a long arm lift that can be upgraded for use with coil-overs or go with something like the EVO bolt-on coil overs and later add the long arms for a little more flex.

 

Just for parts. I am torn between Teraflex and Evo.

 

I'm on the same boat idk if I should go for the Evo enforcer 4" with evo spec king shocks or teraflex" with fox shocks..

 

It is a hard choice.

 

Of those two I would go with EVO Enforcer but that's just me. Don't forget about new drive shaft and either new wheels or spacers to make sure you have the right back spacing.

 

I'd go with the MetalCloak GC. Great on road drivability, and exceptional krawling capabilities all while not having to change out your driveshafts...at least until they wear out. I've got a year on my system, and aside from rock rash, I haven't had any problems with my DS. Go big and get MC's overline fenders, and you'll get plenty of flex with those 37's.

 

I run the 3.5 AEV

I love it on road and believe it is good enough for any weekend warrior. It isn't for a Jeep built more towards off-road then on but that isn't what my Jeep is. I drive it everyday to work and its our weekend excursion rig.

Tows great, works well with lots of weight in the back, handles really well.

Off-road it does really well. I haven't had the control arm bracket hold me up yet. It hits but doesn't stop or make progress any harder.

 

EVO MFG is made in the USA, Fullerton CA. We use Currie Johnny Joints on are arms for the best flex and durability. We have seen a ton of control arms bushings fail at the shop. This is why we choose Currie for EVO MFG products. They stand up to the abuse EVO1 can throw at them.

We also work closely with King Shock to match the valving perfectly with our EVO Plush ride coils. This gives you a smooth ride on road and flexes awesome offroad. Please let me know if you have any questions-

I had lowering control arm brackets on my rancho lift hated! Made noise when I stopped, hitting a pot hole the lift sounded like it was really frail.. I was all about the AEV 4.5 lift.. but something about bracket agin just won't set in mind..
