Do you all ever install JKS lifts and do you have a video with the install?

[@kraigbutler2352]

Thanks for the video guys! Well done!
I just had the AEV installed on my 2019 JLU Rubicon last week. I went to 35 in Geolander X-AT tires. So far I love it. Drives better then ever on road. I will be at the Easter Jeep Safari this weekend to find out how it drives off road.

Awesome! Let us know how it goes!

@@CapeFearCustoms Just got back from EJS (we only had time for three days of trails). The AEV lift worked amazingly!!! We did Jax Trax, Fins N things, and Behind the Rocks Tip Toe. I absolutely love the feel of the suspension. With the tires aired down to 12 PSI it was smooth as could be. It could have easily handled more challenging obstacle. No regrets with either the AEV or the Geolander X-ATs. Also, the 4 hour drive to Moab at 80 MPH was just as smooth - this lift truly provides best of both worlds.

@@kraigbutler2352 Hi Craig I think I will go with the AEV 2.5 for my JL as well. How is the flex ? Do you have IG videos of the jeep flexing ?

[@kraigbutler2352]

@@NacionJeep I don't have any vids. I love the lift, but honestly, I don't really have anything to compare it to other then stock. My mechanic was super impressed - he raved about how the engineers of the AEV lift thought to include compensation even for the weight difference from the passenger vs driver side of the Jeep (passenger side is heavier - who knew?) and many other factors in stability, tracking, etc. I can say that I saw several jeeps with lifts try and do some steep climbs in Moab this past weekend and their front ends started hopping to the point where they had to give up on the climb. The suspension on this AEV lift dampened the "hopping" and I cruzed up everything I pointed it at. I also flexed over everything in my path. The most difficult Moab trails I feel comfortable on with the 2.5 lift and the 35s are rated 5 trails in Moab, though I could probably do rated 6 trails if I was more experienced and didn't mind some bumps and bruises. So as far as off-road, I couldn't be happier. As for on road - I have seen reviews that say this is the best on road lift in their reviews. For me it was the balance of both worlds that mattered.

The big difference in those two Jeeps is the RC lifted Jeep is going to ride like a log wagon and the AEV lifted Jeep is going to ride like a Cadillac.😂😂😂

[@CapeFearCustoms]

AEV is definitely one of the best brands out there!

Sound quality is potato

"Right inside the rear of the wheel here"
This is what happens when you let someone who has no idea what theyre talking about do too much talking. Shouldve let the tech do all the talking, this was sadly a pretty uninformative video.
