I'm well into putting on the  AEV 4.5rs lift on to my new purchase .the rear is complete and I'm about halfway into the front .

New shocks ,spring and bumb stops are in axle plates and brackets still to do ....its never ending ..

Hi Bob

 

What made you choose this specific suspension?

I think this is a first for a 4.5" lift (in JOC) and the RS is a serious system ... just curious as always :glasses:

 

 

PS glad that you got the leather option you wanted after all :great:

I had a long chat with Paul at aev i put  a lot of questions to him regarding all the expeditions  iv have done along with the experience in hot and very cold climates. .most of the answers I got where very positive. I would have gone for the 3.5 but I need ground clearance when towing my expedition trailer. The trailer come in at 1500kg loaded so with that extra waight on the rear I went for the remote shocks ...

 

Its a bit of a pig to fit on the drive but doable if your ok with the tools

If your doing it on your own like I am you can add an extra time to fit it . :great:

 

Stewart did a great job on the rest of the rig so I'm just going to carry on that work , it's not for every body be cause of the cost but it is your own Choice .

Looking forward to seeing it all done Bob,  I'm sure it will be just the ticket for your intended use  :great:

We'll have to start a little sub group for the 4" plus JK's  :icon_e_biggrin:

Thanks for that Bob ... with your experience it all makes sense :great:

 

 

Had a closer look at the pics and noticed some new rear corner protectors ... are they the AEV ones? Look really good and go well with the petrol cap cover.

Really looking forward to seeing your expedition JK when its finished/ready ... what else is in store (I wonder)? :alien:

Thought your JK build was going to be using all Australian components  :scratch:

Why the sudden change to AEV?

 

Good looking build and some excellent pictures as it happens  :great:

Going to be really impressive.

I was looking at the iron man but as I said earlier this was Stewarts rig and it deserves to carry the theme on with the aev .I hope that helps.

 

I still think the iron man kit is good and I would recommend it .why did you decide to go with aev  on yours ..?  Was it to match the rest .

Sorry Martin ... no offence ... which system did you fit & are you really going for 40" tyres??

 

 

Maybe we should have a list for the "4+ Club" :glasses:
