[@v8felon]

AEV is pure quality 👌

[@alltruckeredout]

I really appreciate you explaining the control arm geometry and it's part in the ride quality. This is a great video thank you.

[@bowstobourbon]

nice, thinking about going that route with my jl

[@douglansburg4545]

Sounds like my Mickey Thompson tires will be hear soon

[@detailboyz4549]

Looking good 👍

Great video! Looking good!

What about front track bar?

Very nice

Thanks

[@ajyoussef2927]

Great job! Are we not going to get a SEMA video this year?

[@kuba9286]

Well, I don't know

[@jesselaporte7184]

Essentially same thing I want to go with. I’ve got a 2021 diesel rubicon gladiator. Want to go with the same size tire and wheels with the 2.5 AEV. So this video was perfect to see the clearance as apples to a 3.5” from Metalcloak. My question you ask. I have 4.10 gears. Some say I should have to re-gear and others say I don’t as it’s mainly a DD with the odd overlanding weekend. Thoughts?

[@ychai2812]

Throw on the lift and tire and see how that goes. I have the same ride and planning on the same thing. People's opinion varies so just do it and see how you like it.

[@BLKXJ96]

If you plan to go with a 37" inch tire a 4.56 gear is a good option. Not mandatory but saves some wear and tear on the drivetrain turning the weight and size of those bigger tires.

[@justinjess7776]

I have 37's on my gasser Gladiator and have no power issues as far as gearing. I also have the 4:10. Definitely needed a front adjustable track bar to center the axel, so keep that in mind if it's not included.

[@jesselaporte7184]

@@justinjess7776 thanks for the reply. What lift did you settle on?

[@justinjess7776]

@@jesselaporte7184 I did the Mopar lift with a steer smarts adjustable track bar.

[@jimstruve3602]

I have the AEV DualSport on my 2021 2-door Rubicon. I had the installer do an alignment and he said they were unable to get the front axle centered properly. I found that the handling was a bit "darty". I added a JKS adjustable front track bar and had it re-aligned after installation. Now it handles and rides perfectly! Might be different on a 4-door, but the 2-door installation really needed the adjustable front track bar.

[@kg0311]

I mean, naturally.

[@bryantwhittaker6086]

I hope people start doing a disclaimer that if your using beadlock wheels as true beadlocks that they aren't DOT compliant and if you run into any cops or state troopers that know this they could get a decent sized ticket. Would be helpful for other to know that. There are DOT compliant wheels out there, like the new Icon Rebound Pros. Great videos like always other than that👍

[@bryantwhittaker6086]

@Offroad Adventures ok, should have clarified... Not DOT compliant for "street use"... Beadlock wheels inherent nature of needing to be maintained make it where many states don't see traditional beadlock wheels with the rings as street legal.

[@nickwinn]

The linked lift kit isn't designed for the diesel according to their site, it only lists compatibility with the 3.6 and 2.0 motors. You need to purchase the XP lift kit if you have a diesel.

[@SPRINGTRAP209]

Did it clear with the stock front bumper???

[@machine2747]

Very sad that AEV discontinued this wheel. I tried to order them but was told they are no longer available.

[@machine2747]

As an update: These wheels are available directly from AEV. The folks there were awesome with getting me set up with what I wanted. Highly recommended!

[@BlackJeepConvertible]

What if I already have mopar LCA?

[@MidKnight2142]

I was hoping to see someone do this on the Gladiator and give a proper review, as its the lift that caught my eye the most. I'm also curious as to how they do for an "overlanding" build, like how well does it handle the all that extra weight. I don't necessarily plan on doing heavy duty rock crawling, but I was planning on putting 37s on, and from all the sources I've seen, they recommend 4.88 gearing or possibly 5.10s (due to the fact I have a manual JT). Speaking of which I would love to see something on a Centerforce (or any other brand) clutch upgrade for manual JTs.

[@riccardocimei7293]

Mate, check out the channel of "The road choose me"... exactly what you are looking for...

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Might I ask on a related topic the recommended approach to rotate the tires on a Jeep. Do you simply go front to rear and rear to front? Or, do you X the rear to front and go straight back with the front to rear? Thanks.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

I think your 6 to 10 rotation schedule sounds ideal. You have the tools and ability. I personally favor the X to front and sliding the fronts back as the best way to maintain an even wear. Thanks for your reply.

[@NHop2025]

Will this exact tire, rim and left set up fit on a non rubicon? I have a 2018 Sahara and obviously don’t have the higher fenders like the rubicon

[@ychai2812]

Are they coming out a version with remote reservoir/8100 soon?

[@detailboyz4549]

I would love to see how this set up would do with the upgraded shocks. I'm sure it would help the ride tremendously.

[@patrickvolodzko2762]

What floor lift is that?

[@SkyHawk2729]

Would I benefit anything at all if I installed an adj front LCA? Not sure if the 2.5 is enough to make a difference.

[@robertrose2632]

What are the part numbers (that are printed on the springs) for the front springs for the diesel and the gas 3.6? Or can you tell me if NTHSPRG31325A is for the gas or diesel? Thanks!

[@John-uo1qf]

Cost to install the suspension?

[@jimanderson5071]

Where can I buy that lift?

[@Quadratec]

Links are always in the description: www.quadratec.com/p/aev/2.5in-dualsport-rt-wrangler-jl-unlimited?

[@phelandeluna5439]

Might as well keep the BFG's or get something else, Cooper was bought out by Goodyear😥

[@MrStaybrown]

I prefer dual rate springs.

[@jasonreese906]

They’re dual rate on this lift

[@kg0311]

Lol

[@chrismarinock520]

Now buy a adjustable front track bar as well because they don't address that!

[@kuba9286]

OK

[@kyrptl1ghtyt890]

Haven't seen wheels yet making a prediction comment, but a +25 offset idk bout that

Doesn't look to bad lol

The front springs looks weird
