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 JL Wrangler.
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 relatively 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 (available in standard load or high capacity) 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.
With the AEV DualSport RT Suspension System installed, the JL Wrangler’s front and rear suspension geometry is optimized throughout the entire range of motion, giving you the sporty, responsive handling characteristics that AEV suspension systems are known for and a pair of AEV’s heavy duty, stamped 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. 4xe compatibility coming soon!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is this a bolt-on system?
A: Yes. This kit installs using factory mounting points and does not require any cutting or welding.
Q: Do I need to change my factory control arms?A: No. Geometry correction brackets are included to retain stock control arms while restoring proper caster and handling.
Q: Will this lift affect on-road ride quality?A: Ride quality is improved for both on-road comfort and off-road control, especially on a heavier vehicle like the JL 392.
