AEV 2” spacer lift, is it really that easy to install?

That makes my life significantly easier.

To be completely honest, I never touched my control arms when I leveled the front of my Gladiator or my wife’s JLU for that matter. Just left them the way they were beforehand. Never had an issue with either vehicle.

You don't need a spring compressor if you loosen the trackbar and control arm bolts. This will allow you to get enough flex to install the spacer. It's really not difficult

In the rear for me, the brake lines were not long enough to get the spring out...looking at the spring compressor route or just removing the caliper.

Can you not loosen the brake line brackets to get enough droop?

yes, I've did that as well....either I'm missing something obvious, or for some reason my brake lines are shorter, I should have taken a picture. I buttoned it all back up and will try again on a good weather day.

I installed AEV lift and geo brackets this weekend. Do I need the heat shield that was on the front frame side upper control arm? It won't reinstall in original holes because of geo bracket. Nothing in instructions about it.
