Added AEV Spacer lift w/Correction brackets

[Pdiehm]

Just got a call from the shop who did this, and they told me the caster is 4.1 and 3.7. I have no clue what these numbers mean and/or if they are important to me. Said something that it shouldn't be a problem if I maintain a proper tire rotation schedule.

Am I to believe that I really didn't need to add the Geometry Correction brackets?

They should have added. That is the reason AEV provides them - to increase your caster for better handling on the highway.

AEV does not provide geometry correction brackets with the 2" spacer lift.

To the OP, I would get them or a set of longer control arms.

Also, post pictures of your setup!

Sorry my bad. Didn’t mean to say they provided them. OP stated in title had them. Point is they should have installed. Or like you mention, get extended LCAs

Good point. It was not clear why they did not install them if he gave them to the shop to install.

I also have the 2" AEV spacer lift on my sport. I have 315 k02's. Rides like it did previous to lift.

They did install them.

Just picked up the jeep. Caster was 4.1 before and after it was 4.0. I think .1 is within margin of error.

So essentially it came out about what it went in for.

Here is the before and after. Looks good with 33’s. Will look better in 3 years with 315’s.

Hey, do you have some more pictures? Do they rub at all? I have the AEV spacer lift as well but with 33s on stock wheels with spacers. I really don't like spacers and want to go to 35s with new wheels, but am curious how they will fit.

Seems fine to me. No rubbing. Just got back from some light trails today. I was planning on 33's. But I got lucky and picked up this set with wheels for $500. Pretty happy with it.

Why don't you like the spacers? I have an 80th Anny and was thinking about putting spacers on to get some more width but with the stock wheels.

Just a personal preference. As much as everyone says they are safe, and I'm sure they are, I just don't like them. I'd prefer to run with rims with the proper backspacing than add another potential point if failure.

Having said that l, I've run with them on for almost 10k completely issue free, and will continue to until I am ready for 35s.
