not sure how everyone got on the spring topic. To answer your question: go with the Rubi take offs. I did the same when i put my BB on and noticed a difference. I'm assuming you are currently running "sport" shocks. The Rubi shocks are much more beefy than the sports. you can fin them all over craigslist and ebay for about $100.

FYI - not sure if the AEV comes with shock extensions, but something to consider

why would the spring number matter if he is considering Rubi Shocks?

You would be better of buying new shocks of the correct length to go with your lift and gain the extra supension travel, if you run the factory sized shocks will have lost 2" of flex.

Agreed... You will need shock extensions for this to work properly. For the price of the shocks and then another $75 or so for front/rear extensions, you might as well just buy the correct length shock.

I went that exact route back when I put a 2.5" budget boost on. I picked up some nearly new Rubi shocks for $65 I believe. Extensions for $75. If I went back and did it again would I get the Rubi shocks? No. It did reduce brake dive (not that I really cared about that). They ride slightly firmer. I could see how they might work better off-road as they are more pressurized and would probably provide slightly better tire contact.

Overall, I walked away from it saying that it wasn't worth the time and cost. That said, it is hard to justify all new shocks for such an inexpensive lift. I'd either leave the shocks as is, or look for someone selling a set of used extensions. Upgrade to nice shocks when you upgrade to a suspension lift.
