Did you have to make any mods?

Oh ok, I wasn’t sure if you had to mod the skid plate bracket. Thanks!

Nope, unless you swap bumpers it's all direct bolt on

Without a doubt 37. Here’s mine after the AEV 2” on 35s. 35s didn’t look good. Bottom photo is KO2 37.

I dunno, I think the 35s look good. But the 37s do look better. Do they stuff with no rubbing?

Yes. None at all. Especially with the beneficial offset on the aev wheels.

Nope. Motobilt did a reasonably good job with this design.

Would I have done some things differently, yes. For 1 example, the inner support gussets for the winch should have been welded ~1/4" further away from where they are to allow much easier access to the winch mounting hardware.

Also, if mounting a winch - you may decide to go with the Motobilt fairlead mount.

I needed to slightly grind/modify the Motobilt fairlead mount gussets due to the size of the Warn winch. This pic doesn't reflect it, but they would have interfered with the winch.

Everyone still happy with their AEV spacer lift? I know I am and it rides so good with the slightly longer Mopar LCA’s. I’m itching to go a little higher but I’ve had no drivability issues. Decisions, decisions….

I was hoping I might find a sale on this because of Labor Day. No luck though.

I’m not in a big rush though, I really don’t need it before my next Moab trip next year.

Nice rig, fenders look clean, did you do the chop or are they the ones they sell? Also, what lights are below the winch? Thanks

 

[tonywin]

Thanks! I did the chop myself, it’s the Rugged Ridge kit. The amber lights are the KC Flex single LEDs with amber covers.

Has anyone seen any Labor Day sales on the AEV Mojave kit?

FYI. AEV don't do discounts.

 

[Minty JL]

Yeah no discounts BUT it will be a drama free addition based on all of the feedback. That's why I went with it and the Mopar extended LCAs.

Thinking about pulling the trigger and going with the lift and 37’s and selling the 35’s. Just wondering about the longer LCA’s or the Geo bracket, or do both? This is my first solid axle truck, so I’m kinda lost in the lift info.

Well it's a choice, both will achieve the same effect. The Mopar LCAs are cheaper, there's no additional weight and no additional under hang from the frame. Those are the points I took into consideration when buying for me.

AEV Geo brackets are quality parts too. I just opted to save the extra $300 for other mods.

I'll be going with 37s as well.

Cheers, hope that helps
