Suspension question
Looking into lifting 15 JKU , interested in 3.5 lift seems AEV is popular, but has anyone put on a JKS lift? Long time owner of CJ's and TJ's but family size forced me to get more doors.

I am reading a lot about those lifts. It seems in Northern Colorado AEV and Teraflex are popular. Looking at options , want a good quality lift that maybe isn't the most popular. Don't have time or money to regret a bad decision just to do it different. Thanks

You might want to look past the names and the prices for now and just start with some of the basics.
Are you looking for a 'complete' kit, or do you plan on adding on later? Have you decided on a tire size/fender combination? Will you be trimming? Do you know how the suspension height will affect the geometry/handling? (steering/roll center/driveshafts, etc). What the various components actually do and what problems they fix? The differences or pro's/con's between the components that perform the same function? (drop pitman/dl flip, cam bolts/brackets/adj ca's, etc).
All good things to look at before you get into the whole "How about this one?" "No? Then how about this one?" "No, then how about this one ..."
