Lift kit recommendations - Malta

[KU310R]

Hello this is my first post here and I am looking for some help. I am from Malta and knowledge here is very limited on modifications. In addition to that I have to import all parts, so I'd like to research as much as possible before ordering.

I have a '24 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 2.0 with hard top, which I am planning to use for overlanding across Europe.

I have already installed Rugged Ridge rocksliders & spare wheel carrier, rear cargo shelf, Rhino Rack backbone with either iKamper 2.0 mounted on HD bars, or a pioneer roof rack instead of the iKamper 2.0 and a side awning. During my trips I usually carry a 12v fridge and gear for 2 adults and a kid.

I will remove the RTT & all gear from the vehicle when not overlanding so it will not be loaded year round.

In the future I am planning to install front and rear metal bumpers with a Warn winch, 35" wheels on Method 305 and a 2.5-3" AEV lift kit.

1) What would be the best spring to go for with this setup? Standard or high capacity?
2) Since we have RHD cars (as in the UK), do I need to purchase a specific kit for RHD vehicles?
3) Does anyone have the contact email for AEV customer support? As I cant locate it on their website.

Thanks!

Talk to AEV about which springs they'd recommend you go with in their lift kit. When I talked to them about which springs to go with when I ordered their lift they wanted to know how I planned to use mine and how much stuff/weight I'd be adding to it. From talking to them if you plan to add racks on top and load those up and load up the back full as well as a different and heavier front bumper w/winch is when they recommend the high capacity springs but if you go with the HC springs and don't have it loaded up with extra weight the ride quality definitely suffers.

On my 24 JLUR, which when new looked like yours but with the steering wheel on the other side, for my use the standard capacity springs with the AEV DualSport RT Suspension Lift was the right call but with yours, depending on how much weight you're adding, the "high capacity" springs may be the correct choice.

So far, the only other suspension pieces I've added, besides the AEV DualSport RT lift w/control arm correction brackets, was a Steer Smarts adjustable track bar and AEV steering damper.

This is how yours will look with the AEV DS RT lift.
