AEV 2.5 Dual Sport Lift / 35s & 37s

[Adv_aw8s]

Awesome looks like it will do more than enough off-road since I’m not rock crawling…not yet anyway.

Exactly. It will take most people further than they are comfortable with. I don't necessarily rock crawl either but I do make it to Moab a couple times a year and this was my first time to winter jamboree. Most of our trips are exploring Colorado and overlanding type trips. We do plan on trying to make it to the Rubicon trial this summer. I'm really a fan of AEV products because of how they are tested and their coating process for their accessories. I also really like how their stuff really integrates into the lines of the vehicle and it looks factory. I have a rear aev bumper and tire carrier on its way now because I bent my factory steal bumper at the jamboree.

I’m really liking the looks of some of their products. Have my eye on the salta rims and bumper tire carrier. Took a hit to the factory steel bumper the other week and it doesn’t seem to hold up very well. The fuel caddy you can add to the tire carrier looks like a solid solution too.

Their stuff isn't cheap but it is very well thought out and built very well. I have two buddies that both have AEV built jeeps, one a jk and one a jl. The jk has been everywhere and wheeled alot from overlanding to Moab, Rubicon trail, the Dusy etc. and tackled everything in stride. I have three or four other buddies that all have alot of their products.

Looks great. Salta wheels right? I’m contemplating them if I don’t stick with stock rims. You on 37 Ko2s?

Yes, Salta wheels.
Tires are KM3 37s.

I’m considering the AEV myself. I currently have 35s with stock lift on my 4xe rubicon. Would love to see if anyone has pics of the AEV on a 4xe with 35s. Wondering if the 2.5” is worth it since the 4xe already sits about an inch higher than non-4xe rubis.

AEV lift is great on road and good enough for my needs off road.

Yes, Salta wheels.
Tires are KM3 37s.

what offset and back space?

Are you planning on going to 37s with the lift? Recently saw the set-up and it looked great with 37s. I guess it would be fine with 35s but might be more lift than needed.

no immediate plans for 37s, but never say never!

Thanks Jack I’m not really a fan of wheels with a lot of poke, your wheel set up looks perfect thanks again

echoing what everybody has said so far.

Have the AEV bumpers, suspension and wheels.

Onroad is simply better then stock, particular when you get the tire pressure right. Handles loads amazingly well.

Offroad for my needs (North East trails and offroad parks) it does amazingly well.

This is how it looked with BFG KO2s on a 315/70/17

As I want to do Crawl Daddy and Crawler Ridge at Rausch Creek this weekend without scraping a ton, I just installed BFG KM3s at a 37/12.50/17. Wheel and tire now around d 112lbs per corner. While you certainly feel the difference, the handling is absolutely great, ironically rides even better despite a load D vs the KO2s load C and on the highway the 6-speed with 4.88s eaily pulls hills with 4 up and a full costco run. Will let you know how the new setup does after this weekend.

the 35s looks sooooo underwhelming compared to the 37s.

with the 4dr JLUR, its looks like right proportions with the 37s installed.

awesome...

99% sure that’s a Cavfab Predator. The same one I’m running.
