I've had the lift installed since around May of last year and been very happy with it. To answer some of your questions:
- I didn't notice any difference in ride quality.
- I got the correction brackets (bought the rancho ones, not the AEV ones). I put it on the highest lift option (for 3"+ lifts) and would definitely recommend this. I always prefer a little more castor rather than a little less in my vehicles.
- Speedo correction is only needed if your changing tires. Do you plan on increasing your tire size? I believe ProCal is simple to use, but if you are spending that kind of money on it their are other options that will allow you to do more than just tire adjustments (jscan/Tazer)

I’ve had the AEV spacer lift on my Mojave for over a year. No different from stock, I used the AEV geo brackets. I also went with 35’s and used a superchips flashcal. I love the way it looks and rides.

I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. But I am in the process of mounting 37s for trail use only. Its been put back in forth about whether it can do it stock or will need a 2in lift. I already had to change out the rear springs for overland weight. with weight it rides and handles like stock, without its straight doodoo. so Im leaning towards if it fits 37s with no lift offroad, ill get a spacer for the rear to deal with sag. and yes i tried bags, i blew em after one trail.

I did the AEV lift along with the Terraflex lowers, Steer Smarts bracket, Yeti front adjustable track bar, and Fox 2.0 reservoir pass thru steering stabilizer. I added the steering stabilizer afterwards because I had some "wobbly" movement with front wheels (35's w/9.5" wide rims) when going over irregular surfaces at speed. Cleaned that issue up with the addition of the Fox steering stabilizer. Installed all the pieces of the lift at once, so I cannot tell if for example the Steer Smarts bracket improved anything or not. I did not have wobble before or after the lift installation.
Speed correction: Yes, installed speed correction module for the 35" tires.
Ride quality: very similar to stock. This is a spacer lift, so the ride quality should not change. It seems like my steering has "tightened up" over stock, but that is not from the AEV lift components.
Personally, the 2" lift with 35's on my Mojave looks just right.

I’ve had my AEV lift with AEV GEO brackets for over a year. The ride quality is slightly better in my opinion because I was able to add in a little more caster.
I believe the nominal cost of the brackets was worth it since I was in there already. One and done is in my experience a much better plan.
My kit came with the speedo correction thing. I would not pay extra for it. I’ve not used it yet. I know what the basic correction is and can do that math in my head.

I'm enjoying the aev kit. Seems to ride pretty much like stock. 37s went on at the same time so obviously it's not exactly like stock. I do like the way our JLUR rides with the drop brackets so I'll likely add them eventually but I wouldn't call them necessary at this low lift height. The procal hasn't caused any issues although running the cable is a bit of a pain. So far so good.

I feel like the truck looks better with the lift obviously. It doesn't do anything extra in terms of Offroad capabilities. If anything the geometry brackets hang a bit lower in my opinion.

I’ve had the spacers since they came out. I have no correction brackets and it drives great. This is with 37” BFG KO 2’s. Going to 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T’s next week.
