Default 2.5" BB Installation Question

Greetings all,

I am in the process of adding a 2.5" BB with shocks to my two door Sport x. As of now, I have the stock springs (which are 13 up front and i forget the rear 52, maybe), and am going with rubicon springs from a JKU. I got the springs and shocks free from a club member. Now, aside from exhaust spacers and the tf 2.5" kit itself, how much additional gain will I get from replacing the bottom of the barrel stock shocks, to the Rubicon JKU ones?

I am receiving shocks from the kit, so I may just give away the rubicon red shocks, but any ideas? Will this cause any issues?

Thank you,


EDIT: I am sorry. By gain, I meant if the Rubicon Shocks will be better off than the Teraflex ones that come with the kit. (Would I need to use extensions anyways)

You don't get any additional gain in height with shocks. The lift comes from the springs and pucks.
