AEV 2.5" Dual Sport Lift Kit?

[HKguy]

I put the 3.5 dualsport on my wife's JKU. It has a slight rake in the front due to the winch and expedition one front bumper but I see it leveling out once I get around to putting a rear bumper on it. The correction brackets, high steer, and shocks make it worth the price in my opinion. The Jeep handles so much better than stock and better than other JK's with other brand lifts, in my humble opinion.

Can you install this lift and keep the stock Rubicon wheels/tires? i.e. no spacers? or do the new suspension components get in the way of the stock wheel requiring more backspacing?

I did and I'd say it's fine on road. Never flexed it out enough to see if the rear sway bar links hit the tires. Since it uses the stock swaybar links and set up, I'm assuming there wont be an issue. I added the spacers for appearance until I could get bigger tires.

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I don't want wider tires. I like em tall n skinny... lol. I would actually like a tire that's about 1 inch taller than stock but about the same width. I don't play in the mud or sand that much so bigger tires won't help me at all.

255/85-17 is the size you describe. Unfortunately they are all E rated.

Just installed the 2.5 Dualsport today. It took 2 of us 6 hours, and was pretty straight forward.
