Another powerful storm passing through. Took out the power.

These are some pics of the final setup. It was a few days of getting greasy but well worth it. The ride is so much better, my steering is tight with the new ball joints from Teraflex. Over all smooth but very tough offroad suspension system. Will post some vids on an offroad test. Currently sitting on 35's but I ordered some 37's coming soon.

This is where I wrapped things up, it's hard to record and do all the work. I will have a better camera setup for next time. I ended up installing the Helwig rear sway bar, replaced the front sway bar brackets and rubber with polyurethane, installed a dual steering dampers from skyjacker, teraflex ball joints and control arms lower/upper, adam shafts front rear and JKS front sway bar quick disconnects. I still have some exhaust modifications to do which I will record properly. Remember once your all set tires on the ground, torque all to specs and then mark the nuts with a paint pen for inspection at 500 miles. Thanks for tuning in.

Got the jeep all set and on Jack stands as high as I could and safe. This way it would be very easy to get the larger springs installed up front. First thing is to replace the ball joints with heavy duty Teraflex units. Make sure you have a press tool, grease, mechanics hammer and patience.

The back is all set time to move onto the front. Since I will be doing all of this work figured let's change out the ball joints as well. That will be first for the front.

Installing the track bar bracket. Requires a 5/8 hole drilled. Make sure you measure twice, drill once. Torque where it states and use blue locker where it states to use it. I also like using anti-sieze.

Continuing on with the rear Install. It always goes easy and quick. Gets you motivated for the front larger job. I also have a set of Teraflex heavy duty ball joints with zerks for greasing. Not a job for the faint of heart.

Tires are off and its time to start following the install instructions for the AEV. They arent bad at all but of course make sure you have all the tools to do the job etc.

We continue with placement in regards to our jack stands and back up jack stands. I like to be safe while doing this type of heavy work without a lift.

This is the start of day one with the help of my kids and getting right into the AEV install. I already had installed the Teraflex 2.5 spacer lift (Hockey Pucks) about 5 yrs ago. I know what I am in for and made adjustments this time around to make it easier on getting the springs out and new ones in. I used spring compressors last time around and I didn't want to deal with that, dangerous too.
