Ive been looking in to these two companies cause Ive been thinking of putting some bigger tires under my LJ with out doing a lift just yet. I saw the AEV kit ( https://secure.aev-conversions.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=41003011) first and it looks really nice but last week I saw the GenRight kit ( Product Details ) and it peaked my interest since it comes with body armer. Just looking for some thoughts on these two kits and if anyone has had any expierance with them.

The aev's are weaker than tube fenders. That is a plus for some folks. I'd rather just have tubes with no flare because I didn't like the look of stock.
For highline tubes, look at TNT customs, rokmen, and metalcloak. All are full replacement fenders. The genrights are your stock inner fender, with their "skin" over it. All the others I mentioned allow you to re-sell Your stock fenders to re-coup some of the cost...which definately helps on price. TNT and metalcloak have the most clearance out of those I listed. Check them all out before making your decision.

I agree with Bennettj13 I would go look at metalcloak and TNT customs, both are full replacement, the problem with gen-rights is you still use the stock in fender, and it involves a fair amount of cutting. The problem with keeping the stock inner fender is you really don't gain much in the way of clearance, and you can't sell you stock fenders to recoup some of the cost.

When you place the brackets for the under hood stuff, mark them with a sharpie and drill them with like an 1/8" bit. I re-used stock bolts on everything and it threaded itself right in. Most of the stock bolts under the hood cut thier own threads. It's super easy.
that isssss sexy. is that your rig? i really like the looks of that soft top, who makes those tops that hug the roll bar like that? don't mean to hijack, but as the OP's have mentioned, i'd look into just keeping it simple and replace the entire fender/flare and sell it and look at one of those other tube sets. i have tnt's and like them a lot, they're not the highlines but i may go that way sometime down the road...I'm partial to Rokmen:

Buy a tubing bender and 110v welder 
I would be happy with any of the options posted in here. I, however, am not an AEV fan. For some reason I just don't like the "look" (aesthetically) of their products.

Yeah post some pictures up.
I'm also interested in this. I'm planning to go with Hyline style fenders but haven't decided which hyline fender to go with. I like the AEV hood for sure. I already sold my stock hood planning on going with the AEV hood. I like the Rokmen fenders, but I do like the "sleeper" look of the AEV. The AEV fenders are significantly thicker sheet metal than OEM. From the AEV website..."The fenders in the Highline Body Kit are made from 14ga. steel (nearly 3 times as thick as the stock fenders)"
Really comes down to the question of aesthetics, but I do think that the hyline tube fenders will offer more tire clearance if that is an issue. I'm sure I'll go back and forth on this quite a few times prior to making a purchase decision. (It will probably be March or April before I have to make the final decision)
