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
A friend of mine (who is a "part time mechanic") and I installed the kit on my 2007 2-Door Wrangler JK in approximately 2 hours. Easy install and looks /rides great! Major improvement over factory suspension. This is my daily driver and I'm very happy with the value.
Installed the AEV lift on our 2013 Rubicon. Installation was straight forward. I chose to do most of the install with Jeep on a lift. I also installed the steering correction kit. Overall I rate the quality high and installed 35” tires. We have already been to Colorado and had no rubbing driving Pukeepsie gulch with no problems.
I installed this in my 2010 JKU Sport in 2013. 73,000 miles later it is still AMAZING! Yes 73,000 miles later! I have had no major drive line issues. I did use the drop down brackets and that made the ride BETTER than stock IMHO. I did my rear CV joint last year at 91k and my front drive shaft U-Joint at the diff went bad at 91k. IMHO these parts wearing were normal life expectancy and maybe even better wear than stock. Just replaced ball joints at 102k. So if you're looking for a lift that will NOT put extra wear on your JKU...take it from 73k miles of testing. This lift ROCKS!
