ok heres the measurements I gathered. I wont give the number as where everyones point of measuring can be different but i measured my buddy's stock mojave on 33s to get a base line on what AEV lift vs the springs I chose could have been.
His mojave is bone stock with and RSI cap (empty no roof rack) , plastic front and rear bumpers, stock wheels on tires. Mine has Barnes front bumper with HF winch and steel cable, dv8 step/rails, rsi cap, front runner rack, awning, water tank various totes with gear in the bead Im guessing around 300 more rear weight than his, an 17x9 wheels with 37 patagonias.
with the AEV spacers and fox shocks my numbers were approx only 2.5" higher than a stock mojave and I am on 37s. So my assumption of front end sag was for sure sagging. The rear measured about a 2.5-3" gain compared to stock.
These numbers arent going to be exact for everyone since there are alot of variables, for one my tires are at 30 psi and hes on stock psi which is what 50 psi or something right? The point of my post is to show that while the AEV spacers are simple and cheap to gain some height, once you like most of us add all that weight...... the springs themselves are the factor and I saying buy once cry once. Use my experience to help make the decision of what route youre going with your vehicle.
Now the new springs with Falcon shocks net a 4" front and 4.5 rear gain over the the stock form. and, 2" -2.25 front / 2" rear gain over the previous AEV setup I had.
Take these numbers for what thay are and I hope it help you make a decision as i couldnt get any true numbers as to who got when with their lifts. and I read alot of people saying they added spacers on top of new springs not getting what they really wanted or got too much lift.
This is actually my third time changing my setup as i went from terflex 1.5front spacer and dyna rear .75 like many have done. Then the AEV and now true springs.
