I think ours rides and handles better than stock with the Aev lift. Their springs are a little stiffer because they are designed to handle the weight of bumpers and a winch, which we have so without the extra weight it might feel a little stiffer ride.
A 35 fits the stock 24 willys, and hell you may be able to fit the 37s since you are just gonna be cruising malls
LOL that's true on the 35" I am not saying I won't ever go on trails.
No. These spacers are on top of the springs - they lift everything above the axles, whereas body lifts just lift the body over the frame - as I understand it.
If you are thinking 35 to 37, stick with 2.5" and go with the 37s since the day after you get 35s you will have wished that you went with 37s. As far as a lift, I would get one that at least comes with full length coil springs (not spacers), longer front lower control arms and ideally one that comes with new track bar or track bar relocation brackets as well. Here is my progression from stock to 35s to 37s:
Why did you move from the mopar to the teraflex?
Nice! yes I am definitely going to want the 37sFor reference, my wife’s 24 Willys 4 door is lifted 3.5” on 37s. It’s MORE than enough for that size tire. 1.5” for 35s, and 2.5” for 37s would work just fine.
We do wheel our rigs and the extra inch comes in handy, but if you’re not trying to flex like crazy over speed bumps then stick to 2.5 inch.
The Mopar was on my 2018 and I went with the TeraFlex on my 2021 (after having a few more years of lift research between 2018 and 2021). Why I went from a 2018 to a 2021:
My problem with most of the more budget friendly kits is they fail to address alignment. Mopar doesn't address either track bar so the axles will be off center. AEV should have a great ride thanks to the drop brackets and I think they include a raised mount for the rear track bar which helps roll center and axle centering. Again, they choose to ignore the front. That's why I pointed out the JKS kit. Especially if you don't have a Rubicon, it's 1 of the only kits I've seen that gives you high quality shock options, addresses all aspects of aligning the axles after the lift, and even included sway bar disconnects which should be 1 of the 1st mods for any non-Rubicon. All for less than the dealers are now charging for the Mopar 2/3rds of a complete kit. At 2.5" you don't need to replace all the control arms, but you do need to center the front axle.
I have this lift currently and I can't recommend it. Sure, it somewhat works, especially on asphalt, but off road not so much, as it bottoms out almost all the time.
You don't need any lift at all, but a 1 inch bump stop extension in the rear will keep the tires out of the fenders if you really go crazy.
thank you I will definitely look into it. I just dont think I need expensive Fox shocks.
