I love you guys and your terrific team work!!! ❤
Thanks so much Mary!
looks perfect, nice job as always guys
Thanks a bunch. Very satisfied thus far :)
Thanks for tip on the circle cut-out template! Your front and back end videos along with some others were great support.
So glad it helped Patrick. Really love this kit but I wish they would have done a few things different you know. Hope you are doing well.
I love how you do all this together :))
Hey thanks fam!
Good Video! Always learn a lot from you guys,
Hey thanks Todd!
Super good Job and great Episode 💖
Hey thanks a bunch!
Just finished watching all 3 installs. I still can't believe you got those geometry correction brackets installed without your shop foreman present! Good points on brake lines and sway bar bracket linkage, I agree with you (c'mon, AEV!) Going to look for your review on how it all works...
Thanks a bunch. Love the setup thus far. Works really well when towing too. The lift is not too big and not too small but heavy duty :)
Got a few classic Grimes grunts in this video. You know as well as anyone, stock ain't no fun. Nice work the lift!
Oh I know right, those bolts were tough lol. Thanks brother!
Thanks for the video. It is very useful for me to try installing the lift system. I review this video several times and want to detail about moving the front drive shaft bolts since the shaft turning around when i try loose the bolt with wrench. Thank you very much!
Your very welcome. So glad it helped.
I want this lift to replace my pro-comp lift!! I can't wait for your review on the ride!!! good luck with the camper search.. Still saving for our trans cooler and new gears to help with towing our camper
Hey thanks Michael. Ill be working on getting the Geometry Correction bracket video up soon. So far I am very pleased with the ride. We are really interested in the folks down in Florida. Little too far for a quick look however. Keep us posted on the trans cooler and gears. Have you decided what gears you are going with?
*Good To See, Friends. Regards You.*
Hey, hey, hey, hope you have been well.
Thanks for the video. Please lower intro and music to match voice levels!! I woke up everyone watching the video late night!
Hey thanks a bunch for the heads up. Had some trouble editing this one for sure. Sorry we woke everyone. Hope you all are safe and well.
I like the look. That should do a great job for you 👍
Thanks brother!
That did look like a booger-bear! Maybe Bobbi will get you a set of gear wrenches for Christmas! Lift looks good!
Sure was brother. Told her to put em on my list for sure. It would have made this move a long much faster. ha. All in all i'm pleased with how things have turned out.
Hello....Regards, thank you''
Thanks fam!
I watched your videos several times before installing the lift on a 2018 JK Rubicon Unlimited - it definitely helped! I wasn't able to get the bracket off of the front brake lines. The instructions shows using a vice grip to pull it off of the brake line but I was concerned I'd just end up damaging something. Any advice? Thanks!
man at 7:44 you wife leg . with no jack-stands . scary happy to see nothing went wrong with your jack . love your videos . im back baby
Ha we had Jack Stands on the back side. Used the wheels and tires under the frame at this point. Would have been better to have a couple more stands however. WELCOME BACK!
So I think you have the shocks upside down, and I believe you’re supposed to take the yellow bump stock out, screw the extension in to where the bump stop was, and then reinstall the the bump stop there.
Hi Kevin, it's actually correct. Please feel free to double check the instructions to be sure.
I bet it will definitely settle out some.
Totally agreed. i hope to have a more detailed update soon.
@@BubbasgarageTv thank you for making the video, I am curious if it has settled. I want to put in on my sons JK but I did the mopar kit on my JL and it was 3.5" not 2" I had to replace the tire again from 33 to 35. it was an expensive mistake. we already have 33" on the JK and we don't want to replace the tires.
Looking forward to installing this on my Rubicon. Thanks for the video!
Your very welcome. Keep us posted. So far I am very pleased. Ill get the Installation of the geometry correction brackets up soon.
Go with fox or teraflex. I had fox and it was amazing till O got rip-off by a mechanic and swapped must of my suspension and left. That’s how I end up with aev and not happy with it. Better then stock yes but not better then fox….
Thanks King. Haven't tried out the fox setup before but I have heard great things.
@@BubbasgarageTv much better with the fox set up. Quick question I have a evap code p0456 I can’t seen to find the problem I had the jeep smoked with the machine change the canister and the purge valve alsp gas cap. Still getting that check engine light ??? Any tips.
Nice, might see this option in my future ;)
Is it necessary to do a 4 wheel alignment after installing this kit?
Got the back done today. I start the Booger-Bear tomorrow. Did you need wheel spacers? Shop I got a quote from prior to deciding to do it myself said I'd need 1.5" spacers. I'm keeping everything wheel-wise close to stock. My tires are a little over the stock size before the lift, but only slightly. That's just the way it was when I got my JKU.
Hi Matt, hope the install is going well. We did not use wheel spacers at all and everything is about perfect. Still planning to do some of the mods discussed in the install videos for this but nothing major at all. Keep us posted on your installation and thoughts for sure.
Looks good and it didn't seem to be too hard how long did actually take you?
Honestly wasn't too bad at all. Took about half a day with recording video. I think I could have gotten it done faster if i had better tools hahaha
Did you have make any adjustments to the Computer (i.e. speedometer)
None at all. The tires and wheels are still the stock. Hope that helps.
You have a review or flex test of this lift? Hard to find much on it.
Hi Brad, not specifically. Ill see if we can get one put together. With that said we do have some footage from trails in Big Bend. Did really well. I would recommend sway bar disconnects if you dont have a rubi for sure :)
I am going to be installing this kit this week. Did you get an alignment after the instal was complete or does the geometry change so little this would be redundant? Thanks for any help
Hi Nathan, Happy New Year. Sorry for the late reply been out traveling West Texas. We took it in and they said that it was with in range. Keep in mind we also installed the Geometry correction brackets too. Hope the install went well.
The install went great with no major snags. I opted to go without the relocation brackets, after driving for a day I went ahead and ordered them. Put them on tonight and it’s a world of difference, they shouldn’t not be optional on this kit. Thanks for all the help, your videos are great!
Did you install aev geometry correction bracket?
Sure did. We have a video on that. Love the fact that you can use it for both the 2.5 and the 3.5 :)
So now what size tire are you going with??
Hi Fabrice, I think we are going to go with 33's
Good morning. I had a fox 2.5 lift kit on my 2015 jku. It was great. I made a mistake to take it to the wrong mechanic probably 1 year later. He swapped my coils and few parts more…. I end up getting this lift kit aev witch turned up more expensive the the fox….. ride quality is 6 out of 10. Compared to the fox, it drives good but I feel every bump on the road and very disappointed. I got it done at the best jeep garage in NYC. They did a good job but it rides bad I have 35” tires at 320 psi. I may go back to fox or teraflex lift kit. My stearin is good I want to sale the it. I dropped 17k on the car and it rides like S#!T. I probably spent a lot less on a bmw. I wouldn’t recommend this lift kit to anyone
Interesting, that's a bunch for your feed back and honest review over time. I have to say I have been running this kit for a couple of years and have thousands of miles on it both on and off road towing and not towing I have to say I have been really pleased with it this far. Specially when towing. I would have to agree it's by no means a Cadillac ride that's for sure. A teraflex with fox shocks will ride much better. Guess it depends on your preference. Under load I have personally been really happy with this setup thus far.
Nice video. Lots of good points. Are you still running it and if so how is it holding up?
Hey thanks for your kind words. Sure am holding really well. Specially towing love it. Sometimes I wish it was the 3.5 inch but glad I went with this one. Gets the job done really well.
@@BubbasgarageTv Thank you for the fast reply! Agree, 2.5 seems like the right height for me as well. I got the same lift as you except for a 2 door JK. And then came across a forum thread where Jeepers developed a "death wobble" after installing an AVE lift but maybe that's for higher lifts.
Be sure to get the geometry correction brackets. We installed these right out of the gate and have had no issues. Also checkout our video on the brake line extension brackets for sure.
@@BubbasgarageTv Definitely. Thanks!
Absolutely, let us know if we can help. Keep on Jeep'n on!
Lift looks good but it makes the tires look small. May be time to upsize.
Oh I know right. Time to Upgrade ha!
What size are they?
@@clkoontz3 Currently running the stock KO2's 265/70R17. We will be putting on 285/70R17's to match our overland/boondocking rig.
@@BubbasgarageTv I currently run ko2 34x10.50-17 with 2" aev and love the look. I've been thinking of going to this lift next but am a little worried the 34" will look small
@@clkoontz3Well the stock tires I run are about 32. I think the 34's will fill it up rather well to be honest. Ill get the 33's on early January and see if we can get some images to compare. Was hoping to do it sooner but it has been crazy busy lately.
Could do with out the tunes!
Must horrible ride with this aev 2.5 lift kit. I had fox 2.0. 2.5 lift kit was so much better. This aev was a waste of money 2311 dollars. No good even with the correction brackets. It drives ok but it rides los crap
I have been really happy with it, holds up well cross country and more and when comparing this to stock its a world of difference. Thats just my opinion though.
