AEV 2.5in Dualsport RT Suspension System
JL 4dr
Features & Product Details
AEV first introduced OE-level suspension engineering to the aftermarket over 10 years ago. Today, we continue that legacy with our 2.5″ DualSport RT Suspension System for the 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL.
As a true, expedition-ready suspension system, coil spring and shock tuning was essential to provide the optimal balance of load carrying capacity and ride quality that customers have come to expect from AEV. The 2.5” DualSport RT Suspension System includes a set of our frequency-tuned, triple-rate coil springs to provide 2.5” of additional front and rear ride height. The JL Wrangler is equipped from the factory with a very soft coil spring and a fairly stiff shock package, which is not ideal for expedition travel when heavier cargo loads are introduced. For this reason, we went with progressive rate coil springs designed for additional load handling capability and then paired them with set of AEV-tuned, 46mm Bilstein 5100 series shock absorbers for a slightly firm, sportier feel. The AEV/Bilstein coil spring and shock combination used in this suspension not only increases both up travel and down travel but also provides better articulation as well as improved off-road speed potential and bottoming control.
We then optimized the JL Wrangler’s front and rear suspension geometry throughout the entire range of motion, giving you the sporty, responsive handling characteristics that AEV suspension systems are known for. To optimize the frontend geometry, a pair of AEV’s heavy duty control arm geometry correction brackets are included for an improved ride quality and reduced nose dive under hard braking. A rear track bar tower extension is included to correct the rear roll center while also generating a better turn-in response. Extended length front and rear sway bar end links compensate for the additional lift height, while new front and rear bump stop spacers improve bumper/axle contact under full articulation and jounce. Due to this suspension system’s lower lift height, there is no need to swap out any of the OE track bars, control arms or steering components.
The all-new ProCal SNAP is included for quick and easy speedometer recalibration, as well as our JL Jack Base for added safety and stability when changing a 35” and taller tire with the factory scissor jack.
Proudly made in the USA and features AEV’s Lifetime Warranty.

REVIEWS & CUSTOMER MEDIA
I installed this lift as soon as it arrived (in stock so fast delivery) on my 2024 JLUR and while it lifted quite a bit higher than 2.5" ie closer to 4" it handles super nice on the road. I think if you are running this on a rubicon you might want to run 37" tires as it makes 35" tires look small. Quality wise it appears top notch and the kit was missing nothing.

Q: Wheels and Track Bars DHartlein2 years ago
I have a 2021 Rubicon JLU with stock BFG 33s, plan to replace at some point with BFG 35s, but that will be awhile. Will the stock Rubicon wheels work with BFGs in either or both sizes? Will the geometry brackets and rear tower bracket eliminate the need for adding adjustable track bars? Thanks!

A: Yes, the tires will fit, but you may need wheel spacers due to the width of the tire, so they don't rub. You will still want an adjustable track bar for the front, the geometry correction brackets have no affect on that.

A: AEV recommends at least 5.77" backspacing, which is what their wheels are. I would recommend 5" or lower from my experience. It will come with the updated Snap module.
