To Lift or Not to Lift, that is the Question...

Wait, what??? Of course I will be lifting my JL Rubicon at some point in time.  Only two real questions:

  1. What lift?
  2. How high?
Right now I am leaning almost 100% (let's call it 98%) to another AEV lift kit. I loved the way it fit my JK and how it road on and off-road. I think they make one of the best lift kits for Overlanding and as this will be it's primary function (other than my daily driver) I can't really think of a reason to go a different route.

From the AEV website, here is what they are currently listing out:


2.5” DualSport RT (Road and Trail) Suspension
  • Like AEV’s JK suspension systems, brings OE-level engineering expertise to correct suspension geometry on a lifted vehicle
  • New triple-rated frequency-tuned coil springs
  • Custom-tuned Bilstein 5100 series shocks; painted to prevent corrosion
  • Raised rear track bar tower
  • Clears 37” tires on high-line fender flares (Rubicon)
I do plan to also see what ARB, Rock Crawler, and Mopar (just for warranty issues) are offering but unless something really new/cool/innovative comes out from someone else, I will most likely stick with AEV again.

One thing to note is that I have read that Jeep will only support warranties on Jeep with a maximum 2 inch lift kit so that might come into play here, I plan to purchase a lifetime warranty so I might not want to void it right away!
