⬇️MAIN TOPIC:
This video features a DIY Install of the AEV 2″ Spacer Lift on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Sahara Unlimited.
⬇️TIP:
In the tips segment, there is some discussion on the critical tools and torque specs for the DIY install of the AEV 2″ Spacer Lift.
The difference between more expensive full-on suspension lifts compared to the less expensive “budget boost” lift kits, such as the 2″ AEV Spacer Lift is also discussed.
I misspoke quoting the price of the AEV spacer left. At the time of the video, it cost $399 (US).

Just found your channel, great video! I have the same jeep and I Want to add the aev lift. Does the Guelph dealership still sell these?
Thank you sooo much!! I'm a female with absolutely no experience working on vehicles and I believe you just gave me the confidence to try this on my own!!
…and now, after that I changed my pads and rotors following your instructions (all perfect!!!) I’ll do the lift by myself. Thanks!!!!
15:45 Smart!!!
Thanks for the detailed video, can you tell us your review after using it for more than a year now? Did you noticed any damages on the original OEM parts because of the spacer?
Great video! I am going to be installing this kit on my Gladiator next weekend, and I was curious to see if you'd found any tricks to get the higher torque values for the control arm bolts. For the ones you were able to do on your own, was it enough to just do by hand, or did you have to use any tricks with a steel pipe to prevent one wrench from moving or anything like that?
You done a great job
Thanks
Need these for my Mojave …. thanks for sharing!
Great video. Can you tell me if the heat shields get put back on or not? Thanks
Not too shabby for an old-timer in his driveway with an adjustable wrench!
OMG this was so helpful even for just the jack placement. I am using the Terraflex 2.5 JL Performance lift with shock extensions but most of this install looks the same. They actually start at the front and also remove the rear parking brake from the bracket and move the cables. Can I start at the back like you, or should I start at the front? Does it matter? Your way looked way simpler. Also, does the AVE kit recommend a minimum backspacing? I think the Terraflex does at 4.7 but that could be with the upgraded 9550 shocks, not sure. IF that is the case, I'll probably put 1.5"-wheel spacers for now with the 2021 JL Sport OEM wheels until I upgrade to 17×9 -12mm offsets which is about the same 4.5 backspacing as the OEM with 1.5" spacer. Building in stages to save large initial costs at one time.
Question, when you lift 2 inches the jeep, the panhard bar that attach to the chassis and the diff, change the angle moving your wheel probably a good inch to one side of the vehicle.
Does aev provided the bracket to adjust the panhard bar or you Has to buy an adjustable one to maintain the geometry of the tires planted on the jeep chassis?
Also, the front diff change in angle, even at 2 inch lift is sufficient to change the angle to which the jeep does. The turn and also changes the suspension reaction and assist in death wobble how did you change the diff attack angle. With this system?
Did you ever have to installed a adjustable track bar???
Doesnt look like the lift kit corrects for the factory rake. Am i correct?
What is the length of the breaker bar?
Are you still liking the aev spacer lift? What are your thoughts on the aev dual sport rt lift? I understand it’s good for over landing due to less sag with loaded Jeep.
Wow, I’m a gear head and this is one of the best car videos I’ve seen, so detailed, very well edited, great job! Congrats!
On the front was the stock spacer used in conjunction with the AEV spacer. I was wondering if the stock spacer and the AEV spacer would level out the jeep. Thanks.
no nose dive when hard braking?
