AEV Releases JT 2.5 DualSport RT Suspension System

[1DanLee1]

Are those 33's or 35's? I am ready to pull the trigger on this lift, but don't want to go from 35's to 37's. Am I going to look like an idiot (well, that may be a forgone conclusion, but what will the Jeep look like) rolling around on this lift with 35's?

The pic of mine is still on the factory 33’s for now. The red Launch is one on 35’s with the same lift...in the next day or 2 I should be able to show the difference with the 37s too.

The Red JTR looks level. Is that thanks to the rack and RTT?

KM3s? Hard to find in 37s, apparently. They look huge compared to the stock tires...can't wait to see them mounted!

Yes, I found a warehouse that had 7 in stock. The local Tires Plus wasn’t even able to get them & when I let them know that I would buy rims from them, but locked down 5 of these from Simpletire.com he was surprised because he checked that supplier. I gave them 2 days to source them with no luck, therefore locked down the order immediately when I called in to verify that they had them in stock.

i got 5 so I wouldn’t be out of luck if I had an issue & will play the 5 tire rotation even though I’ve beat trucks hard in the past & never had a failure I couldn’t fix with a plug.

Well, I’m going in. Ordered last night from Northridge to save on the shipping, though it drop ships from AEV and that can take a few weeks. Will post here with updates on install and impressions.

3.5 months later, dropped the JTR off to get the steering box TSB done (cause for the delay) and then finally the AEV Dualsport Suspension installed. I know it’s an easy install but been there and done that. Glendale CDJR in Los Angeles does a lot of AEV work. Will post pics and impressions once I get it back. Going to take it on a trail next weekend.

Sorry to ask but how much are they charging for the install?

Sorry to ask but how much are they charging for the install? My kit should be here in 2 weeks and will need to get it installed somewhere.

Estimate is $1100. This includes a track bar install and alignment. I brought in all the parts, though I could have sourced the lift through Ellis CDJR for same cost. I expect you could find a place to install for much less in the Valley but YMMV. Wanted the same place I get maintenance and warranty work done doing the lift install.

And here is the finished product.

Love the new ride. Not floaty like the stock Rubicon suspension but not overly firm either. I think the extra weight front and back helps with that. Test drove on some desert roads and washes, it’s going to be great.
