Hi thanks a bunch for your kind words. Not specifically but we did talk about it along on our Video Podcast. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/PlO545bBnMo/w-d-xo.html
Had my 3 inch lift on for approximately a year and had no complaints until I got the death wobble. Some guys on a Jeep forum advised geometry relocating brackets after I had banged my head against the wall trying to fix the problem. I know some will say worn parts was probably the cause but the Jeep is a 2021 Gladiator with no worn parts. Geo fixed my problem.
Right on! Really loving the setup thus far. Kinda wondering if we should have gone with the 3.5". Might consider an upgrade latter but we will see what happens this year I think :)
After I installed these I bought a used jeep rubicon with a 2.5 lift kit it's got cam bolts in the front control arms after a 8k mile road trip I was a bit concerned with drivablity. It was darty and got squirrelly under hard braking my caster looks to be 4.5degrees after sadly I didn't measure before hand. But after a test drive and a few emergency brake conditions it seemed to handle a million times better. Not sure what lift it came with but it measured out to 2.5 inches. My lower control arms are now parallel to the frame. I'm much more confident in the handling. The back doesn't want to walk around the front and it's definitely more straight
We had to add adjustable rear upper and lower control arms after we installed double Cardin drive shafts to eliminate drive shaft vibration. No issues with the 2.5” lift.
I just added the Metal Cloak Front and rear upper/lower control arms. After getting some advice from the guy who built my Jeep, who is an avid rock crawler, I decided to leave the GEO C brackets off to gain more ground clearance. The ride sucks is how I can best summarize it. Very jarring and drastic change then what I was used to. Today when I took it back to have them put back on he stated that he thinks it's all in my head. This coming from a guy that runs long arm suspension and 40s. I don't really care though, I know I can feel a big difference and I want my ride quality back. Although many say you loose 2.5 inches of ground clearance, that is not the case, its only about 1.5 inches due to the crossmember clearance. The AEV control arms are going back on!
So you can drop the upper and lower control arms while the full weight of the vehicle is on them. I know the instructions say it like that but I figure I better check first.
One thing is for sure, I wouldn't attempt anything without adding a lot of support and backup support just to be safe ;) Sometimes those instructions can be very vague lol
I just installed the 2.5 Dualsport XT on my 08 JK Rubicon. It is GREAT! In fact, it is so good, I'm considering not installing the Geometry Correction Brackets I bought with it. So when are you going to share your thoughts on the geo brackers? I'm waiting to hear from you before bothering with them. Thanks for the great videos!
Hi sorry for the late reply. Would love to hear how things are going with your setup. Honestly, I am very pleased with this setup this far. I do still plan to make some changes to the kit but the ride is great the steering is still spot on. Did you end up installing them or are you still running with out them?
Again, seems like a really great kit for the jeep, cool they so a Correction kit. Be interesting to know how it Drives, does it still need aligned after install
Great question. The documentation didn't really specify. With that said I did torque them down pretty good and after a couple of weeks I did go back and check everything to be safe.
By far the worst lift kit. Wooou is bad not good at all. The geometry is good. But the kit is no good I’d paid 2311 dollars and it was a waste of money
Great feedback. We have been running this kit for several years and on many trails and overlanding. It has treated us really well. To be honest, Im very pleased with how well the suspension takes our overland rig down a trail ;)

Hi there! Have you done a review after installing the geo brackets? Whats your thoughts?
Thank you for great videos!

They are the GOLDEN key to fixing DW!
Caster affects everything
I have the AEV 3 1/2" on my JKUR and love it. It rides just as good on road as it does off road.
Right on! Really loving the setup thus far. Kinda wondering if we should have gone with the 3.5". Might consider an upgrade latter but we will see what happens this year I think :)
Who would have thought Geometry could be so much fun.
hahaha LOVE IT!
You made it look so easy, theirs only one way to find out if the ride is good, ROADTRIP LOL thanks for sharing hope you all have a good one.
Thanks brother. No Kidding. We are so ROAD TRIP READY :)

Goodness, so far things seem to be working out really well. Loving how things ride now. Really didn't expect things to be much different honestly.
Major difference between the geometry brackets and having them installed compared to not having them installed!!
Another great video! Many blessings to you all!
Thanks so much Mary! Hope you all are doing well.

Wow that's crazy and honestly that 1.5 inch can be dealt with you know.
Hello my frien''
Very interesting Regards, thank you
Thanks Lola!
Hey Bubba when the going gets tough the HELP TAKES OFF LOL 😂
hahaha, I know right lol.
I already drag rocks on the factory control arm mount. That AEV bracket looks like it's quite a bit lower than the factory mount.
Agreed, if you drag now this will definitely drag. Granted it's not that much lower but it is lower.
So you can drop the upper and lower control arms while the full weight of the vehicle is on them. I know the instructions say it like that but I figure I better check first.
One thing is for sure, I wouldn't attempt anything without adding a lot of support and backup support just to be safe ;) Sometimes those instructions can be very vague lol
Yep, everything I do takes twice as long to do it the first time ;) Hopefully it'll be worth it :)
Oh I know right. No pro here for sure. Honestly it has worked out well so far. Looking forward to our big trip :)
Great video as always!!!!
Thanks Michael, hope you all are well.
Thanks great video!
Thanks Chris, hope it helps.
The installation dose not look bad at all!
Thanks a bunch. Not bad at all. Was please with how well things went :)
Really great and interesting Episode 💖
Thanks a bunch fam!

Thanks so much you all. So far things have been really good. Hope to provide an update soon. Hope you all have been well.
did you use jack stands or anything to secure the jeep when you removed the control arms?
Nothing more than put the brakes on and use a ratchet strap really.
What are your thoughts on also including steering stabilizer after adding 2.5” lift?
Great question, so far I have not needed or added one. Rides and drives great
I have 33s and just bought the AEV 2 1/2 inch Dualsport XT suspension, do you need any extensions or anything for the sway bars, either front or back?
yes, it came with some, with that said be sure to check out our last follow up review on this. I have some recommendations ;)
Hey Bubba. What torque did you apply to the bracket itself (Not control arms). Thanks.
Great question. The documentation didn't really specify. With that said I did torque them down pretty good and after a couple of weeks I did go back and check everything to be safe.
Do they go on the inside or outside of factory brackets?
They wrap the outside of the factory mounting locations on the bottom. The video does provide a pretty good view of this. Hope this helps.
By far the worst lift kit. Wooou is bad not good at all. The geometry is good. But the kit is no good I’d paid 2311 dollars and it was a waste of money
what?
