So after previously deciding on getting the AEV Dualsport 2.5 lift over the Mopar lift I initially wanted, I'm taking a slightly different alternative in the meantime.
A good friend was running the AEV 2" spacer lift on his Max Tow for a little over a year and recently went with a skyjacker 3.5"full lift. He ended up giving me the AEV spacer lift for free. Nearly $550 kit for free so not complaining and it's AEV which is the same brand I was going go with on the Dualsport. I ended up buying all new hardware from AEV and the driveshaft spacers since he kept his. But otherwise a free kit. So going run this for awhile until I decide on still going through with the Dualsport later. Who knows I may just keep this.
Definitely a noticeable difference especially in the rear considering I was previously only running a Teraflex 1.5" level up front only. Didn't really take any before pics.
Overall looks good. Gonna try this for awhile.

Nice! I’ll be interested to hear your thoughts on the AEV kit, I think if I do a lift that would be the one I’d go with.

Nice choice! That combo optic is fantastic for the ditch light location! ?Installed the Diode Dynamics Stage Series 3" LED Pods. Ran directly to the stock auxiliary switches.

Got the Warn Winch Mounting Plate for the EVO 10-S install. Pretty straight forward as I've actually installed the Warn plate for a friends set up with a Zeon series Warn, so I'm vaguely familiar with the install.
Went pretty smooth other than having to ream out the rear holes for the skid plate to compensate for the 1/4 spacer of the mounting plate.
Probably going to swap out the hook eventually for a Factor 55 Flatlink E.

I am currently running the 18" Overland wheels , came with the 80th anniversary. Was thinking about picking up a set of 1.75" spacers myself. How did you like that setup? Any issues? Thanks

Overland wheels are nice. Are they my absolute favorite? no. But they are the best looking stock wheel of any trim in my opinion which is why I ran them for nearly two years which allowed me to focus on other mods. I knew at some point I'd get rid of them. But it definitely wasn't a priority. The rental car tires that came with them of course had to go asap. Which is why I stayed with 18s when I got new wheels due to already upgraded tires based off the Overland size.
But yeah got some 1.75" Teraflex spacers (at the time) and ran that set up for awhile which I did not mind at all. No issues at all. Even took it wheeling numerous times. Once at Windrock.
Overland wheels on bigger tires, with a little offset looks super clean in my opinion.

How do you like the ride/handling of the AEV spacer lift?
