Could not find my springs part numbers. Looking at buying a 4dr 10a rubicons springs and shocks for some cheap lift. Anyone have any idea on if it's worth it? Are the red 10a rubi shocks worth work to upgrade as well(cost is cheap)? I couldn't find my 63 part number for my shocks by its hard to search I apologize in advance if it's right out there. I bought my jeep used and it has these on it. Front: Click image for larger version

shocks are an upgrade over sport shocks and I can tell you that the 10A front coils lift about 1" vs -18 front coils as I have a 2014 Rubicon 4 door and it came with -18 coils up front and the 10A -06's lifted it about an inch.

13's and 54's in those photos so if those are your coils you will get well over an inch probably 2" or so.

You could always add some spacers if you want a tad more. I installed 18/59's with TF leveling kit. Really happy with the results.

If I put bottle jack between axle and body, will it separate enough to drop out old springs?

Unhook your shocks and sway bar links and lift at the frame on one side at a time. The spring will almost fall out by itself. Put the new spring in on that side and move to the other side. Do not put a bottle jack between the body and axle unless you are looking for some custom body work as a result!
