Probably one of the most important things to remember with that video is that the AEV kit is designed for loaded Jeep’s, not stock with no added weight beyond the driver. He mentions that, but it’s hard to make an apples to apples comparison.
Haven’t read much on this lift and trying to see what the orientation of washer does to the UCA. Does that position pull UCA more to rear of vehicle or push it more forward? If pushing forward will definitely give you less caster.So after installing this lift, my caster is very low (4.1) per the alignment shop. I just want to make sure I have the caster plates in right. I set them for the highest lift. Which should give me the most caster right? I did order the mopar lift LCAs, so maybe that will help once I get them on.
I believe it pulls it more rearward.
My longer LCAs arrive tomorrow and I will get them on next week. Thanks for your reply. I will post back when I get them on and get an alignment !
Let us know. I’m really light with plastic bumpers and soft top. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ll end up needing adjustable lca or mopar lca’s as well.
Your front axle will be off center slightly after changing the suspension geometry from the AEV lift. Maybe by 3/4 inch or so. I have the AEV lift and installed a Steer Smarts Yeti front track bar to correct it back to center.Thanks to everyone who has participated in this helpful thread, it helps me to decide the lift kit that i will purchase in future because the sponsor of AEV in my country said it will be available after 4 months
my questions here
the lift kit is enough or i should buy track bar ? and LCA from Mopar ? or track bar is enough to adjust the caster ?
if i got 3" and more shall i change drive shaft or no need ? my jeep is JL Unlimited Sport for ur info
your advise and replay will be more helpful guys
I ended up going with the mopar, just because the reviews/suggestions I got said it would ride a little better on the road than the aev. I cannot say whether it does or not. I can say it rides okay with 37s, but they need Aird down. I did add the Rc adjustable front track bar, and adjustable front lower control arms. It wonders a little at highway speeds, so I just ordered an adjustable rear track bar, relocation bracket and rear upper/lower control arms (Clayton’s
How is the bowing on the front springs?A lot of people with the mopar lift had to get a set of correction pads from RK or other company to fix the Bowing issue.I ended up going with the mopar, just because the reviews/suggestions I got said it would ride a little better on the road than the aev.

Hope that helps. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, based on reviews.
