So far, the AEV lift feels pretty much like stock. No complaints or regrets. Adding the weight to the Jeep with everything and then the lift, I can actually run higher tire pressures in my 35s.

Figured I'd update this a bit. I bent the steering stabilizer on a trail in the Jeep Jamboree Gateway to the Cumberlands that was very wet and rocky. A trail fix to got it working fine after I was unable to turn the wheels left at all. It brought home the point that the undercarriage needs work. So, the follwing was recently added:
  • A Baja Designs S2 chase light to the rear AEV tire carrier
  • AEV protection rings to my Borahs - something I should have done when I ordered the JL370. My mistake!
  • Artec aluminum skid plates
  • Welded Artec JL front LCA skids
  • Artec LCA rear shields
  • Artec front axle CAD skid
  • Steer Smarts stabilizer bracket
  • AEV steering stabilzer so that I don't take any chances with the rebent, trail fixed standard AEV stabilizer.
  • Installed the grill guards on the AEV 7000 front lights.

Before I had the above work done, I had taken full advantages of the deep Stellantis discounts on their leftover 2023 vehicles and got a new Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve and Gladiator Mojave. The Gladiator Mojave has a build thread here.

The work on both the JL & JT were, of course, done at Mount Zion Offroad. I trust them with all of my modifications.
