How difficult did you find the install of the AEV inner fenders? I've been sitting on them for about 9 months & I gave up trying because it was a bit of a pain. The instructions weren't very helpful; they reached out to me, but I still couldn't quite get it done since some of the small nuts didn't line up flush.
Had a shop do it while they were doing the lift, so I don’t have an answer for you.

How they pairing up with rk springs are they playing nice? Looks great!
They ride much smoother on the road at 3, little bit of nose tail diving under hard braking/accel, trying 4 today.

Offroad they are awesome at speed, only turns and lack of tied down cargo urged me to slow down. 40-50 mph on multiple ruts and whoops was no issue. Previously it would bottom out out at lower speeds fairly quickly on this trail. Trail was too tight to try anything faster.

I will add the 4.5-6 in” shocks give some extra travel on the 3.5 lift, bit more than the spring travel maybe an inch. I would reconfirm with RK what length to get. I wheeled it very hard with wheels of the ground enough to scare bystanders, the springs stayed in place. I do need to see if my GoPro was recording...

What are your thoughts on those Ironman tires? I like their look but I hesitate because they're suspiciously cheaper than other MTs. Are they still a good tire on and off road?
This being our first Jeep and those being the tires that were on it when we purchased, I honestly have nothing to compare them too. We have used them to do light rock crawling #3 trails and below. I air them down to about 13lbs and have had no issues. Seem to be decent enough on road, but again I have nothing to compare too. Sorry I couldn't be more help

Ah not to worry. I guess if they're holding up to daily use they might be worth considering.

We have about 10,000 miles on them now and following advice I found on this forum I started running them at 25lbs on road rather than the 35lbs that the dealer had in them. It did make a noticeable difference in ride quality. Like you stated, I looked at the prices as well and as of now plan on buying again when it's time.

Those look great. Are you going to run limiting straps?

Installed the Rough Country relocation bracket. Gonna drop her off at the shop to get lifted with new shoes while I’m off to NYC to eat a bunch of food. Still need to figure out what to do for the spare tire bump stop extension. Any recommendations?

Any feedback on the lift would be awesome. I am thinking about doing the metalcloak game changer lift and considering installing it myself.

I parked it. Actually, day before yesterday. A week into a high-country camping/wheeling/escaping from Texas heat trip.

Done Engineer, Imogene, Cinnamon, and Last Dollar so far.

Got a nice little secluded camp above Telluride, and

chillin’ with my pups for a couple of days, before going wheeling again.

The Jeep IS the camp.

I'm running the same bracket. Take some 1 1/4" garbage disposal hose, cut it to the desired length, and stuff it inside the bump stop innie. It'll fit perfectly.
