Nothing yet. Hopefully with the AEV brackets and the 24-146708 Bilsteins I shouldn't hit the exhaust, but I have not tested out the flex yet.

Its the stock mod with the new progressive rate coils all the way around, along with the AEV geo brackets and the bilsteins ride is great so far. Now I'm ready to hit the trails and see how it handles some flexing!

Triple rates ?
How's the ride ? I have them about to go in.
Supposedly there's little less height designed into the fronts.

I'll be honest, I did not like the 5100's on my 2door.
It should settle a little but keep an eye on the shafts. That's a lot of height on a 2 door. The drop brackets won't help pinion angle and you may want to think about rear uppers.

And it looks like you never swapped the brackets
