I have the aev 2.5, and I would not buy it again. Or any other product for them, they are one of only two companies ( both which are have grown significantly in the past several years) that I had bad experiences with. Poor customer service is something I don't forget. As far as the lift goes it does fine on and off road but does not excel in the last. Not a bad lift, the entire experience for me was ruined with the after the sale bs.
