AEV!!!!! the JK will be lifted and handles better than stock.. I LOVE my AEV kit.. everytime I drive on a on-ramp and lay into the throttle and the JK literally carves through the turn I smile and love my decision to buy this lift.

P.S. it also performs well if you choose to take it off road... I wheel mine and think this lift is a sweet setup for those that like an excellent on road ride and excellent off road capability.

Like spinlock said, try and find someone that has the lift and try it out.. you will be happy you did.

I think i know what you are looking for. when you were at the dealership i think you got the wrong jeep. just bring it back to the dealership and tell them that you wanted the sport package

If life was perfect I wouldnt have a clue... but my 45 mile daily commute makes me know otherwise.

lot's of food for thought. thanks for your feedback.

I will try to find someone locally with an AEV kit and see how it rides.

you could go mall crawler style and get 22's and performance tires.

The photo doesn't indicate how fast he is going. He might be going 80 MPH , besides the real concern is the rear driver side tire which is about to end the existence of the cone

I was chasing the same thing from my jeep but still needed a good tire to go off road and beach driving

here is the thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...mance+handling

your first stop should be to the tire shop and get some new rubber. Even going to the heavier mud tires improved the way my jeep drives, reducing the roll and it even feels like there are tires attached to the steering wheel when you turn it.

going to a bigger rim and road based tire would be better again. I was considering a set of grand cherokee STR8 forged rims (light, strong and look factory) but again, needed a tire for the beach and 20 inch AT tires are very pricey here in australia.

My next step is to replace the crap stock shocks, just paying off christmas first.
