AEV first introduced OE-level suspension engineering to the aftermarket over 10 years ago. Today, we continue that legacy with our JL 2.5" DualSport RT Suspension Kit for the Jeep 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 AEV JL 2.5" DualSport RT Suspension Kit 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.

As with all of AEV's expedition-ready suspension systems, the DualSport Suspension for the Jeep Wrangler JL is FMVSS No. 126 Compliant. FMVSS No. 126 is a rigorous standard set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that tests new electronic stability control (ESC) systems by subjecting it to various maneuvers designed to evaluate its effectiveness in preventing loss of control and skidding, including evasive lane-changing maneuvers at highways speeds.

  • 3" High Capacity Coil Springs are specifically designed for overland enthusiasts who have a fully outfitted vehicle that is also consistently loaded with heavier gear (+400-600 lbs. over the standard load spring), such as modular cargo systems or roof rack/rooftop tent combinations*

With the Jeep Wrangler Lift Kit 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. 

Proudly made in the USA and features AEV's Lifetime Warranty.

Maximum recommended tire sizes*

  • Sport/Sahara (North America): 35×12.50R17
  • Rubicon (North America): 37×12.50R17
  • Sport/Sahara/Rubicon (Export): 35×12.50R17

Important Fitment Notes

  • Note for 2025 - 2026 Wrangler Owners: Certain 2025 and 2026 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and Gladiator (JT) vehicles built on or after March 24, 2025 were produced with a faulty Driver Assistance System Module (DASM) software calibration, affecting the AEV ProCal and all other dealer and aftermarket programming tools. This DASM calibration could not properly accept tire size which then caused lane departure and auto high-beam warning faults and disabled certain driver assistance features. Please see attached Customer Bulletin for instructions on how to resolve the issue from your local Stellantis dealer.
  • Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission require additional programming by a local dealership to prevent clutch errors and transmission fault codes.
  • AEV High Capacity Coil Springs are NOT compatible with 2-Door Wrangler models. Exceeding GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) and/or RGAWR (Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating) will cause changes in the vehicle's braking, steering and overall handling performance. AEV never recommends exceeding GVWR/RGAWR.
  • All maximum tire size recommendations are derived from AEV's product development process using AEV wheels and BFGoodrich tires.  AEV products are designed, developed and tested specifically to work with other AEV products. Mixing aftermarket or factory components with AEV components may cause interference/tire rubbing at full jounce or full lock.

What makes AEV DualSport Suspension Systems perform so well on the road and the trail?

James H.

In simple terms: OE-style tuning. At AEV, suspension development is about more than just adding lift height, lots of articulation, or flashy-looking components. Its about bringing OE-level suspension engineering to the aftermarket to create a true do-anything dual sport suspension system one that is both extremely capable off-road, while offering unparalleled on-road performance and handling.

Can I run my stock wheels with this suspension?

James H.

We do not recommend running stock wheels on a Sport, export Rubicon, or other models with the narrow track axles with our suspension. At full rebound the passenger rear endlink is hard into the backside of the wheel and at ride height its very close. OE 18 Sahara wheels will work for limited street use but not recommended for anything off-road or as a long term solution. OE 17' Rubicon wheels from models with widetrack axles will be ok, depending on tire size. Note: European and most export models, even Rubicons, use the narrow track axles.

How do I know if I would benefit from the High Capacity Coil Springs or not?

James H.

High Capacity AEV Coil Springs are specifically designed for overland enthusiasts who have a fully outfitted vehicle that is also consistently loaded with heavier gear (+400-600 lbs.), such as modular cargo systems or roof rack/rooftop tent combinations. Our Standard Load Coil Springs are perfectly suitable for a Jeep with all the common mods, such as steel bumpers, winch, full-size spare, etc.

Do you offer any big bore or remote reservoir shocks?

James H.

The 2.5 DualSport RT Suspension System includes AEV-tuned 46mm Bilstein 5100 series shock absorbers. We have been using these shocks in our suspension systems for well over a decade for a reason they are very high quality and ideal for most driving conditions. However, some customers do require an even more robust option, sowe developed anAEV-tuned Bilstein 8100 series remote reservoir shock package, available now!
