![]() ![]() That’s 33.9” or 34.1” tires depending upon who you ask but you are close to rubbing at that point. I ran 285/75/17 tires using the AEV puck lift with no issues. It does not really affect your warranty from most ANY dealer at only 2 inches. (unless they need more of course) It keeps your rig as close to stock as possible with 2 more inches altitude. I would recommend the 2” lift to family and friends with no reservations. I consider the rollover height of the new wrangler unlimited to be their number one flaw from the factory so I will almost always suggest a lift of some type and I like this one. Let’s face it, if you are looking for a serious rock rig, this kit is not going to do it. To be clear, I did not notice any difference in how the suspension functioned…it was just higher off the ground. So, you get 2 inches and retain the excellent suspension of the new stock wrangler springs. I had another brand puck lift on my 08 rubi and they did not give me anything more than 1 to 1.5” lift with no extensions for the shocks. There are a few others that are similar out there but AEV always gives you top quality engineering and quality. One, the AVE 2” gives you around 2 inches of ACTUAL lift but also adds the little pieces needed to make it all work correctly like shock adapters. I personally think anyone who is purchasing a new Wrangler and plans any level of off-road should at least get the 2” kit. What makes my experience a little different than most is the majority of those miles were off-road. Ok…I had 20k on my 2012 unlimited Rubi when I replaced the 2” kit with the 2.5” AEV kit. After all, it's a spacer lift the whole point is simplicity. Look at better companies.especially the one that hosts this forum.and be sure that they've included all of the parts necessary to complete your build. In fact, there is one company that sells a "kit" that is just the spacers and brackets for the shocks.That's it. Some leave out any brackets for your brake lines. Some kits leave out things like bumpstops (which are necessary with some taller spacer lifts to keep the springs from being damaged by "going solid"). Just make sure it includes everything you'll need. Still, in terms of bang for your buck, a spacer lift is hard to beat. It will lean more in corners, dive more with hard braking, and will ride somewhat stiffer due to increased control arm angle. Most companies that sell spacer lifts talk up how it "maintains the factory ride and handling". Even though it is lifted less, it is also not geometry corrected so the center of gravity is higher with no geometric compensation. The biggest downsides are ride quality and handling on and off road. ![]() The primary upsides are simplicity and low $$. Having run a spacer lift before my 2.5XT, I have some experience with spacer lifts in general.though not the AEV one. ![]()
