I went with the RC spacer lift. It’s an okay lift. I would agree the spring isolator inserts would have been nice. I just left my isolators on. Most cut them off if they don’t have inserts. I did the install myself and will be putting on the mc 3.5 gamchanger in a few months. This was just a temporary kit to fit 37 while I save some money and spread out expenses. The lift works as intended so if you are set on a spacer lift this one isn’t terrible. The Jeep just didn’t drive amazing post spacer lift even with the stock 33. Would I still take a long trips in it yes. Would I want someone who’s never driven a wrangler to drive it…no probably not as it wanders a lot more. I’m used to it and it isn’t bad…just not great.

Here is the spacer lift and stock 33:

That looks great!! I was torn on the AEV or RC but it definitely sounds like the AEV w/ longer LCAs is the way to go.

I’ve got the AEV 2” spacers with Rubicon shocks/springs and the Mopar LCA’s. I added wheel spacers because I wanted to keep my stock wheels with the 35’s. Rides better than stock.

Rough country 2.5” spacer kit on 35”s. Only thing I did was buy shocks for a 2.5” lift.

This last Saturday, I did the AEV 2” spacer lift on my ‘19 Sahara. Easy install in my garage. Also swapped in Rubicon take-off suspension and added the longer mopar lift LCAs. Rides great. I ordered from quadratec and it included the procal. I looked at going directly off the AEV website, but they added on the shipping and didn’t include the procal. Buy from a different site with free shipping and one that includes the procal.

Pic is on a slightly sloped driveway. I feel like it is really balanced.

So how much lift do you think you got also did you get the Mopar LCAs?

The Mopar LCAs do not add lift. They only slightly assist with steering by lengthening your caster.

Spacers will net a lift the size of the spacers. Springs are the only ones that will vary from that.

There may be others, but Teraflex does do a 1/2" difference in their front spacers to take out the rake, rears are the stated height.
