Spacer Lift 4xe Help

[NASH732]

I was looking to put on a AEV 2" spacer lift. I can't find any info if I would have any issues with it on a Sahara 4xe. Does anyone have any experience or done any research to help.

I almost pulled the trigger on that one, but thought the Procal Snap looked like a PITA.

I would add the Mopar LCAs to help with caster. Rockauto had them in stock. Part number is 68322798AA. ~$30 each, and you'l need 2.

You don't think there is any issue with the extra weight on the spacers? I asked Northridge 4x4 and they were unable to give me the okay on this spacer lift for the 4xe.

I am not an expert by any stretch but i question the LCAs. I don't think spacer lifts affect the geometry any. There for i don't LCA's are needed. Now, if doing a suspension lift that would be different. Someone please correct me if i am wrong as i am not 100% sure on this.

When you increase effective resting spring length (via spacers or springs), it puts the resting location of the axle lower in the control arm arc and rotates the front axle reducing castor.

Spacers will handle extra weight no problem. There many who run spacers and are maxed out on payload with overlanding gear, 1,300lb.

Not a Sahara, but here’s 35s and 37s on the 1.5 TF spacers:

Looks great! What size tires are those?

If you do drop brackets like pictured below, then you are correct in not needing longer LCAs. But a spacer above the spring is still a suspension lift in which you would definitely benefit from LCAs

Kenda klever 601s in 35x12.5. they are as close to true 35s as I've ever seen with me measuring on vehicle to like 34.75. They also do well on and off road and even in the rain despite the aggressive tread. They do have a little hum on road but less than an actual MT.
