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
Very Happy! I installed on my 2007 JKUX, replacing a worn out Rough Country 2” lift. I added the control arm relocation brackets to the install. Two of us completed on jack stands in 10 hours. I will caution installation of the relocation brackets on a 3.8L JK, the passenger exhaust is in the way of the upper control arm bolt. I had to loosen exhaust from manifold and pry away to remove and install. I also disconnected the front driveshaft to install the springs. The ride and performance are excellent. The rear track bar setup I believe is key. I have read other reviews stating the front end did not level out. I would agree, it’s not level, but not a detractor for me to recommend. Highly recommended if you want a quality lift with mid range price.
Took 3 non mechanics a whole weekend to put it together and I’ll probably never do it again but it’s not that hard. Overall after everything was tightened, aligned, and with the geometric brackets this thing drives smooth. The difference was outstanding considering I still had OEM suspension on it that was 12 years old. Definitely worth it.
Rides and drives just fine. Not sure it provides any more flex than factory as essentially all it does is lower the factory suspension to give you lift.
