    Default Jku Sahara spring on sport jk

    I tried the search but I'm only on my iPod so I didn't get any luck. What are the numbers of 2012 jku sahara springs? Would it lift my 2012 jk?

    I think it should work but why would you do that .thinking. if you gonna take the old springs out then put some new ones back in for more lift. Save one step in the future

    They only have 100 miles on them. So they basically are brand new. I'm asking as if anyone knows the numbers so I know If they are the same numbers as the rubi springs so I know whether or not I will get lift..

    The numbers vary.. The last two digits on the tags should be either 17 or 18 for the front and 58 or 59 for the rear. Otherwise it's not worth your trouble.

    I put 17/59 springs from a 2012 JKU Rubicon on my 07 JK and got another inch of lift in addition to the 2.5" BB I already had.

    Are you still using the original shocks from your JK?

    Ive got a JK with 14/56's with a 2" puck lift, but thinking of adding a set of 18/58's that I have that are take offs from a Rubicon.


    Im just a little worried that may be to much lift for the stock shocks and swaybar links...

    My RC 2.5" BB came with lower shock mount relocation brackets. When I bought the springs from a forum member, I also bought the Rubicon shocks from him.

    Going from 14/56 to 18/58 should get you another inch.

    I suggest purchasing shocks for 2-4" of lift. That will accommodate your plans as well as leave you set for any changes you might make with your lift in the future up to 4". There are many affordable options.

    I did fronts only..went from 14s to 17s in preparation for a bumper and winch. Forgot to measure before but figure I got a little over an inch. Added over 100lbs to the front and my JK still has no rake. It worked out perfect for me, sits level even after the winch/bumper which is what I wanted.

    Free or cheap is what most of us can afford.

    When I went from sagging 13/55 springs to 18/59 springs I gained about 3" in front and 2" in rear.

    It costed me $100 for the springs and Rubicon shocks.

    You should look in my album to see the amount of lift I gained.
