AEV JL lift explained by EPIC 4x4

[Zandcwhite]

If you watched last year his Metal cloak setup was for the Rubicon and they spent a week there. He also built one for the other guy on the channel with much larger tires. He brought it back and was trying to sell it at one point for under 40K with all the Metal CLoak, ARB and other stuff after a full refresh. It even had the 6 pack shocks. I guess no one bought it so he is trying a more road friendly approach to sell it. Their shop used to do a lot of custom setups for many You tubers.

The drop brackets can help road manners and bump absorption for sure, but just add those to the metalcloak kit and he'd have a WAY better kit. He'd have all the flex of the metalcloak kit and even better road manners than the AEV kit. In my opinon what he did wouldn't make sense even if the AEV kit was free. You'd have to pay me to make the obvious downgrade. Not to mention, he literally said it's an AEV SPONSORED video, so they paid him for the downgrade.

Oh, you actually watched the video? I wasn't even going to begin to do that with the obvious nature of it.

Oh holy shit. $1600 for entry level shocks and springs. I had no idea. Yeah I see the stamped brackets too, but that doesn’t add up

AEV is bougie as fuck for what you get, they bill themselves as good enough for OE to put on from factory so they think their shit is gold.

Their kit is basically the mopar kit with drop brackets instead of longer front LCAs, so yes it's OE quality. The thing that the inexperienced don't realize is that the kits from the reputable off road aftermarket companies are WAY better than OE quality. That's the entire point of upgrades, being better than stock isn't it? Being one of the few kits that include drop brackets, they get well deserved marks for on road ride and bump handling. Short of long arms you won't get better ride even with 8 new control arms and new track bars. The geometry is just better with drop brackets. Even with aftermarket arms, we still run drop brackets on the JLUR because we do tens of thousands of road miles and thousands of miles in the desert at speed every year and the handling and ride are well worth the little bit of ground clearance we give up.

I hit play while I was typing my reply so didn't get past the first 2 minutes... and he already said it was an AEV sponsored video by then.

Which is ironically such a low standard to set.
