Yeah, I know I saved the pictures right side up, just when I posted they reoriented that way. I assume it has something to do with not having a very good pic editor and relying on preview (mac)
Well the AEV lift obviously doesn't come with an adjustable track bar, and their FAQ says one is not needed. So I guess it is ok to drive like this, is there anything other than an adjustable track bar that can fix it?
Yes I'm not good with all the parts names, hence my frustration with the instructions and not know what part is what. I was calling them quick disconnects since they are attached to the bar that goes through the electronic disconnect on my JKUR. And when I was reading through threads I heard alot of people call them quick disconnects, I guess that's because they can be replaced with those.
Any thoughts on the uneven height, I measured in my neighbors flat garage and in mine and came out with the same measurement.
RTguy1, I assume you are Rtguy on the AEV forum, is there any benefit to also posting there, other than getting some more of your helpful advice.
Thanks,
DD

So I've completed the install. I still have some concerns. The passenger side quickdisconnect is not vertical while the drive side is. The bumpstop is very close (3") to the added puck thing. And finally the passenger side sits lower by about .5" than right, that is front and back (could be full gas tanks is causing that)
Pictures
Sorry for the orientation, 1st pic is bumpstop, 2nd is driver side qd, 3rd is passenger qd. Any thoughts on what I might've done wrong.

Can you put the bracket on the other side of the tab on the axle? It looks like that would make it perfectly straight.
I can't tell from your pictures if the springs are indexed properly on the bases. There is a place the end of the coil should fit into. It's worth checking.

out of the 3 combinations...i'd honestly have to say that the duratracs with the lift is the most comfortable ride! giddyup! i'm running the duratracs at 35 psi...took my buddy and forum member g520 for a spin around the block last night and he said it road like a car...lol! he has a 2010 jkur with a 2.5" procomp lift and 35 mt's...
very happy with it so far! can't wait to hit a trail...but i can't wait to hit the next onramp either! lol!
time to get the tops off and straps on! o|||||||o
