AEV 2.5" DualSport XT Suspension System for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
It can be challenging to find a Jeep suspension kit that maintains factory ride quality while offering superior off-road performance. That's why AEV has engineered their 2.5" DualSport XT Suspension System, to appeal to Jeep JK Wrangler owners who want the added highway and trail performance of AEV's taller 3.5 and 4.5-inch DualSport Systems, but with a reduced lift height. AEV has made special modifications to this 2.5-inch DualSport XT Suspension System such as frequency-tuned, triple-rate coils at all four corners and custom-tuned Bilstein shocks matched to the coils. Additionally, AEV evaluated this system for cornering and braking and determined that a new, geometry-corrected rear Track-Arm Tower would be needed to help create the kind of handling AEV suspension systems usually employ. The new system is rounded out with everything else needed to complete the package, including a custom rear track-arm, front extended sway-bar end link brackets, bump-stop extensions and brake line relocation brackets.
Daily Driver Friendly: AEV focused on specifically engineering this system to meet the unique needs of owners, such as daily drivers, who prefer a lift height that is more user-friendly and less geometry and tuning intensive - like larger 3.5"-4.5" kits.
A Complete Package: This DualSport XT Suspension System includes everything needed for installation, including parts you may not find in other kits like rear axle side track bar bracket, custom rear track bar, front and rear brake line brackets, rear and front bump stops, Bilstein shocks and rear and front coil springs. Brake line relocation brackets, bump-stop extensions, front sway-bar link brackets, and a custom rear track-arm round out this package. An optional addition is the AEV ProCAL module which adjusts for changes in tire size and gear ratio after installation of lift kit.
Custom Engineered Parts: The AEV 2.5" DualSport XT Suspension System has specially tuned triple-rate coil springs and custom-tuned Bilstein shocks that are matched to the coils, ensuring ride quality does not deviate from the factory-type ride you have grown to love.

AEV 2.5" DualSport XT Suspension System Reviews
Awesome! Rides better than stock rubicon suspension. Even fully loaded off road.
Great quality kit. Perfect lift for my 33's. The Bilstien shocks eat up the washboard roads and are smooth on the highway. Thanks AEV!
My daughter wanted a lift kit for her 2014 Wrangler for graduation (she is going to college in Colorado - think I’m going to put a High Country Edition sticker on it!). I told her it was over budget so she suggested that we make a daddy daughter project out of it. How do I argue with that. First of all, 2 people make it incredibly easy. Secondly, I want to let everyone it look the both of us about 16 total hours to complete. She has a Rubicon model. We added 35” tires to the stock wheels. We had about 9 hours in the lift. We put on the new BFG Mud KO3’s which requires wheel spaces as there was tire rub on the upper sway bar links. I also had to trim a little bit from the front air dam as the tires were hitting it. I had to purchase a new spare tire bracket to space out the 12.5” wide spare tire. I had to remove the rock rails and cut down about 2” in the rear. I also purchased a third brake light (AEV). This was another problem as the light says fits most wrangler wheels but does not state that it does not fit The Rubicon (???). However, I modified the bracket and everything fits together nicely. in lifting the Jeep I had to purchase about another $500 worth of accessories (wheel spacers, 3rd brake light, spare tire relocation) this has nothing to do with this kit as all kits would be the same but I had about 6 additional hours getting the rest of the equipment on. Just something to know. Also, I tried a cheap Amazon spare tire relocation and ended up with a Rugged Ridge. Much better. I also bought two new rubber extensions to hold the spare steady Away from the tailgate. It takes a while to space it correctly but was totally worth it. I purchased:
2.5 AEV lift
4 1.25” wheel spacers
Spare tire relocation bracket
4 BFG Mud 35x12.5x17
AEV 3rd brake light
2 new spare tire bumpers
(Tow hitch but unnecessary)
Last couple of thoughts. I own a beast of a Wrangler. I have a 6.4L AEV with a 4.5” lift and 37” tires. I should have gone with this 2.5” lift. It’s so comfortable. The 2.5” lift and 35” tires proportionately make it look like a stock Rubicon - until you part it next to someone. It raised my daughters Jeep by 4.25”. I drove it down the street at 90 mph and drives amazing. Takes bumps better than ever and outside of the rock rails everything was bolt on. Love AEV products. Also, with the third brake light which sits in one of the spokes rearward visibility is not reduced at all with the larger tires as the goofy high mounted factory unit is gone. Not only would I recommend but would buy it again. This time I could probably cut off a couple hours.
