I'll get the spring numbers whenever I get a chance to look at them.

Typically there isn't too much benefit to the 4drs, but if your springs are sagging and wore out then yeah- totally worth it.

If your going springs from a 4 door rubi with hardtop and tow package onto a 2 door then yes. But on a 4 door not really.

Actually I never understood that, unless you get them dirt cheap, you can purchase a 2" set of springs and not have to worry about issues of lifting. A set of brand new after market springs are very reasonable.

The 4dr hardtop rubi thing isn't always true- I had a friend who purchased a set of coils from the original owner of a 4dr rubi ordered with all of the options and he didn't end up with 19/60's. I bought coils from some Joe schmoe and got 18/60's.

As far as why, price, etc........I got 4 coils (18/60), 6 shocks, 4 LCA's, a pitman arm, and a steering stabilizer for $50. Sold the shocks for $20 and CA's for $35. Even without selling the stuff- you won't find a 2" lift for $50.

You won't lose your warranty just because you install a lift. Dealer replaced my seatbelt retractors that were jammed because of this stupid little stunt. All depends on the dealer!

As for springs, compare the springs numbers. Generally, every one number you go up= 1/4" of lift. Ie fronts 14 to 16= 1/2"
