AEV Conversions DualSport XP Suspension Kits for Jeep

AEV Conversions first introduced OE-level suspension engineering to the aftermarket over a decade ago. They continue to build on that legacy today, while also broadening their spectrum of suspension performance with the introduction of DualSport XP Suspension System for a variety of Jeep and RAM applications.

The factory suspension on many vehicles is soft, lightly damped and with a low suspension frequency. This "soft tuning" can make the handling feel a bit loose and uncontrolled—not the ideal suspension formula for overland enthusiasts who also need to manage lots of cargo and gear when traveling off the grid. As with all AEV expedition-ready suspension systems, 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 DualSport XP Suspension System includes a set of frequency-tuned, triple-rate coil springs to provide 2.5-3 in. of additional front and rear ride height.

Customers can now fine tune their DualSport XP Suspension System even further by choosing one of two available coil spring options:

* 2.5 in. Standard Load Coil Springs are optimized for a vehicle with typical gear/cargo inside. This means the ideal ride height, handling and overall performance will be achieved on a vehicle with steel bumpers, winch, full-size spare and recovery gear (+0-400 lbs. over factory weight).

* 3 in. High-Capacity Coil Springs are specifically designed for overland enthusiasts who have a fully outfitted vehicle that is also consistently loaded with heavier gear (+400-700 lbs. over the standard load spring), such as modular cargo systems or roof rack/rooftop tent combinations.

These coil springs are then paired with a set of AEV-tuned, Bilstein 8100 Series reservoir shocks for improved performance and consistency over rough terrain at higher speeds. The AEV/Bilstein coil spring and shock combination used in this suspension increases both up travel and down travel, while also providing better articulation and improved off-road speed potential and bottoming control. Even when towing, the suspension feels stable, planted, and confidence inspiring.

AEV optimizes front and rear suspension geometry throughout the entire range of motion, tightening up the handling and road feel, resulting in a great ride and performance without introducing harshness or driver fatigue. In the front, a pair of AEV's heavy-duty, stamped control arm geometry correction brackets are included for improved ride quality and reduced nose-dive under hard braking. A rear track bar tower extension is included to raise the rear roll center, reduce body-roll and generate 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.
