AEV FAQs
Where are AEV parts made?
In the USA. AEV says more than 90% of its products are built within 200 miles of Detroit, where it runs its engineering, vehicle build and warehouse operations.
What is the difference between AEV's EX and RX front bumpers?
They share the same core design. The EX uses full-width corners for more coverage, while the RX uses short corners for a more aggressive look and maximum tire clearance, which suits aftermarket flares and tires over 40 inches.
What do RT, XP and SC mean on AEV DualSport suspension?
They are tiers of the DualSport system. RT kits use Bilstein 5100 monotube shocks, XP kits step up to Bilstein XP8100 reservoir shocks, and SC is the earlier JK and Ram platform kit. Pick the kit for your engine, door count and tire size.
Do AEV wheels take beadlock rings?
AEV's DualSport wheels such as the Borah, Katmai and Crestone accept AEV protection rings or true beadlock rings, which are sold separately with the matching hardware kit.
Which AEV recovery gear do I need, Mid-Size or Full-Size?
AEV rates its Medium Duty (Mid-Size) gear for vehicles up to about 7,000 lb and its Heavy Duty (Full-Size) gear for vehicles over 7,000 lb, such as full-size trucks. Match the gear to your vehicle's weight.
What does the AEV warranty cover?
AEV offers a limited lifetime parts warranty to the original purchaser against material and manufacturing defects. Finish defects are covered for one year, and wear items and labor are not covered.
