did you index the springs? the end of the coil is supposed to sit in a pocket toward the back of the jeep. also, make sure you don't have the springs upside down. the part of the spring that has larger openings between coils goes on bottom. the tighter spaced coils go on top.
Good luck!

Just ordered 2.5 inch AEV Dualsport + geometry correction brackets!!!! CANNOT wait for it to get here! now I have to wait for Tires. :(......Anyone think this lift on stock 17s and stock sport tires will look bad on a 2 door?

There are posts in another related thread that the AEV 2.5" lift kits netted sligthly over 3" on a 2 DR with stock bumpers. I think that thread has some before and after photos with stock tires.
For many a 3" lift goes with 34-35" tires nicely but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so only your preference matters when it comes to looks.

My son (16 yrs) hated the look of the stock tires .... and did not miss a chance of saying "Dad, you gotta change those tires".
I must admit, it kinda looked ridiculous. I finally got 33s

who'd you guys buy your AEV lifts from? Looking to order mine this week and I know AEV keeps a pretty tight leash on their vendors but I figured I'd see if anyone got a deal at all.
