Reviews for AEV 2.5in DualSport XT Suspension System for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
I’ve had this kit on my jeep for almost 2 years now and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. This is a quality lift kit that is well worth the money. The ride quality is incredible, better than stock in my opinion. The ride is just a bit more stiff but the jeep feels more planted and compliant and it soaks up bumps much better than the stock suspension.
Do yourself a favor and add the AEV geometry correction brackets to this kit when you install it. The jeep doesn’t wander, no wobble, steers perfect, and nose diving during hard braking is almost non existent.
I’m running 285/75/17 KO2’s. No wheel spacers and no rubbing. Also fits on the stock spare tire carrier (just barely). That tire size seems to be right at the limit if you don’t want to add wheel spacers or a new spare tire carrier just yet.
If you daily drive your jeep and want to add a moderate lift without sacrificing ride quality and handling, this is the kit for you.
Did research and landed on this kit and could not be happier! Ride is better than factory and even my wife agrees, no issues with geometry or speed meaning it drives super. Definitely recommend the geometry correction brackets as an upsell and really should be included but understand meeting a price point too. Overall a 10 out of 10!
Best Effin' Suspension Ever! I have browsed through forums getting a feel of reviews and how it does in real world. I chose AEV DualSport 2.5" because my 2007 Jeep Sahara had an old 2" lift (Old Man Emu shocks and light duty springs) that desperately needs replacing and while I would try the 3.5", I picked the 2.5" for both on and off road with 33" tires. I have installed the new suspension by myself, which did take time and added the AEV Geometry Brackets that was optional. 2 things are important: watch the youtube video of bubba's garage tv about removing and installing the suspension so that you understand how and definately get a spring compressor tool, because it doesn't matter how low you could take axles down without the wheels, a spring compressor tool will take the hassle out of it.
I've had my jeep since 2019, and finally had the lift installed this year. Did my research and I figured if I'm going to buy a lift kit for my daily driver, might as well get the good one, went with AEV because it was exactly what I wanted. The jeep definitely sits taller, I was parked next to a fellow jeeper and he had a 2.5 teraflex lift and mine was sitting taller then his, springs are heavy duty for big bumpers and armor I have a big stinger in the front and I see no sag at all what so ever and I've had it for a couple months now. It eats bumps like nothing because this kit is build for that type of abuse, whether long drives or weekend fun Im a big guy so I like how the jeep rides and also got the geometry brackets as well because it was recommended on some YouTube videos and reviews before I bought this kit, 10/10 would recommend for everyone a great full suspension system for the money. running on 33x12.5 bfg's
Had this lift kit installed for over a week now and it has made my jeep feel more agile despite it being taller. It rides firm however bumps don't feel as harsh as they used to. I fit 35inch tires on it with no issue, I'm very happy I chose this lift kit.
Quality
Quality of products very impressive, fit like a glove. Instructions a bit brief and incomplete but not left as a mystery. Be prepared for some lengthy grunt work if your a DYI'r, but that's what it takes for a big job. If product fit wouldn't have been grade A, I would say probably couldn't pull it off!
amazing and comfortable
Great set! Thanks Quadratec and AEV
Really happy with this lift. I cannot believe how much comfortable my Jeep feels on and Off-road. The ride is much more comfortable. AEV built an incredible lift, handles excellent has one plenty of articulation for a 2.5 inch lift. In my opinion this is the best lift on the market for Overlanding.
