AEV 2" spacer lift for Mojave Gladiator

[Toyfrog]

I initially had mine in the center holes and my caster was at 7.4 I moved up to the top hole and the steering and ride feels a little better. Moving to the top holes actually gets the control arms more level which improved the already good ride. Not sure where the caster is now but I’m hoping 6-6.5???

Looks good. You on 35’s or 37’s ?

They are BFG 37’s, so small 37’s. They are short and narrow for 37x12.5’s.

I did the aev 2” with aev savegre II and 37 ko2s on a Mojave. The tires definitely look thin and do not stick out at all. I also have had nittos which look wider/bigger. Also, I don’t think I would ever need to regear for better Highway performance. I was going to do it all in one shot, but wanted to make sure I would need the regear. Glad I waited Just an opinion.

Same boat as far as gears and AEV wheels (I have Salta XR) but my wheels do poke an inch I’d say.

LOL. Thanks! I guess the grass does look really good right there. I guess the sprinkler system and water bill are paying off.

I have had my AEV lift installed for a year now. It has been a great system but the boots on all the the sway bar links are completely shot. All of them are brittle with large cracks everywhere.

Anyone else having the same issue? I’m planning to call AEV to see about replacements and if not, will buy some from somewhere else.

Cheers

Curious to see how AEV handles this. I’d like to pull the trigger but getting cold feet for AEV. May go Clayton.

I haven’t noticed it on mine but I’ll look more closely this week as I have to replace the drag link.

Assume we could replace the links with something else if they’re shot and AEV won’t send replacements?

Yea I haven't looked into it enough but will start researching options.

Following just curious of the outcome on this. I hadn't thought about the end links, but had been thinking recently about putting in just longer, progressive rate springs and removing the AEV spacers.

Same here!!! I just noticed this a few months ago when I put on my 37s and was playing with my alignment. Boots are pretty done and was upsetting considering I’m at about a year and a half now since installed. Thinking I should go with something with quick disconnects. If anyone gets with AEV please post. I will if I find time to.

 

[MJRSC]

Never mind, add me to the list on the torn boots. Damn.

I had mine on for about a month before I swapped the fronts to Apex Autolynx. The boots on the links looked like a tire that had been sitting out in the desert for a decade. For the price of the kit I had expected better,
