AEV DualSport SC 4.5 Suspension System - JK 4dr Info & Specs
AEV’s DualSport Suspension Systems have taken off-road suspension engineering to the next level. At AEV, suspension development is more than adding lift height, articulation, or flashy-looking components. It’s about bringing OE-level suspension engineering to the aftermarket to create a true do-anything “DualSport” suspension – one that is extremely capable off-road while offering unparalleled on-road performance and handling.
To achieve this, AEV relied on factory engineering methodology. We started with the JK’s control arms, track arms, and steering. The geometry of each component was optimized to accommodate the new lifted posture of the JK. It may surprise people that proper geometry is where AEV’s DualSport Suspensions get much of their tremendous cornering and braking characteristics. When the geometry is right, the springs and shocks don’t have to compensate for poor performance in these areas.
The previous optimization of AEV’s geometry and coil springs allows us to tune the shocks with a focus on damping suspension movement – rather than on trying to mask unwanted handling problems resulting from poor geometry or spring tuning.
Overall, no matter which DualSport Suspension System you choose, where you drive it or how you load it, you can count on your Dualsport-equipped JK to remain comfortable, balanced, and ready to explore.
Key Features:

Please note:
