    Drifter's 2013 JKUR Build

    I did not use the Bilsteins from AEV, as I have not liked Billy 5100's on other vehicles (Toyotas). The front lower shock relocation is for clearance with 2.5" shocks at full flex.

    Steering Stabilizers. What's good?

    The stock stabilizer mounts a bit low and is subject to trail damage. Not all gas charged stabilizers will induce pull, the Fox ATS will not because it has a through shaft design with charge on both sides of an internal piston to balance damping forces. The amount of damping is also adjustable...

    Suspension solution for a very heavy 2007 JKU

    If you are considering drop brackets, take a look at the Rancho control arm drop brackets. They are a boxed fully welded bracket vs. the AEV plates held together with bolts. http://www.quadratec.com/products/16031_1000_07.htm Here is my 2013 JKUR with Rancho drop brackets, 2.5" AEV springs...

    Drifter's 2013 JKUR Build

    Good question. I do not use them to disconnect, just as adjustable links. The AEV kits come with some metal sway bar link riser plates that bolt to the front axle and then reuse the stock short sway bar links. A poor solution IMHO. I use the JKS links because the can be precisely adjusted. It...

    Drifter's 2013 JKUR Build

    I am now quite happy with the ride and handling of the JK. The suspension eats up washboard roads and bumps with a nice stable ride. I was tearing the stock skids up due to limited clearance before the lift, but the 2.5" AEV lift is what I needed to make the Jeep much more usable for me. The...

    Drifter's 2013 JKUR Build

    Hi all. I am not really new to the forum, but new to building a JK. I picked up the JK Unlimited Rubicon in June 2013. There are many things I enjoy about the JK, but the stock suspension was not one of them. I have been spoiled by my Tacoma with Icon 2.5" coilovers and shocks, and the stock...

    Close, that was at the Tsankawi ruins, part of Bandalier National Monument. I was driving by on the way to the store in Santa Fe and thought "Wow, what a cool Tacoma!".
