I gave my 2014 4 door rubicon spring and shocks to a guy who put them on an 07 sport 2 door. He got over 3" of lift from where he was and improved ride according to him.

I could easily see that if he had a low spring number to begin with and 7 or 8 year old vehicle could have been really settled especially if he had heavier bumpers/armor etc.. Settling has to be factored in as well. We have a Rucicon at work that looks like a low rider.

I'm sure it had sagged quite a bit from stock too. It looked good after he did it.

Well just finished! Am tired!! Did it alone- crappy no tools made things tougher. The front shock top mount was almost impossible to remove- rust had seized it a bit got em after no exaggeration an hour of exhaustion.

I gained 2 5/8" !! Better than I expected pretty damn good haha/ that's with just a steel front bumper no winch.

We'll I put on 4 door higher rate springs after discovery of a broken spring. The ride is in no way better. Can't wait to change them out.

I took for a test ride- ride was great, minus the fact I haven't hooked up swaybars yet, so it was a tad flighty. Haven't decided- I think I am going to use rear swaybar link from rear- and use a set of stock rear swaybar link for rear as well(have extra set)

Still going to add OME steering stabilizer that came with kit as well.

I just installed the 10a springs(19/60) and shocks on my '10 2dr and got about almost 3" lift. I had sag from the old springs for sure, but I measured before at 31.5 and after install i was at 34.5. After driving and letting everything "settle" i measured again at just under 34.5".
