AEV 3? High Capacity Coil Springs are a direct fit upgrade for Gladiator customers with an AEV 2.5? DualSport Suspension System already installed on their vehicle. Developed with the true overland enthusiast in mind, these frequency-tuned, progressive rate coil springs provide the increased load carrying capacity necessary for heavily loaded vehicles, while still offering the exceptional ride quality, handling and off-road articulation that AEV is known for.
-
Standard Load Coil Springs are optimized for an AEV-spec Gladiator with typical gear 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).
-
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.), such as bed rack/tent combinations or in-bed campers.
While these coil springs will work for a lighter weight vehicle, customers should be aware that it will sit higher than advertised and have a slightly stiffer ride – not excessively harsh or intolerable, but also not nearly as pleasant for daily use as a vehicle within our target weight range.
AEV High Capacity coil springs are engine specific and only sold as a complete set of front/rear springs in order to preserve the optimal vehicle handling dynamics that our DualSport suspensions provide.
Note: 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.
