Are you saying the front springs from a Rubicon are 2.5 inches longer than those on an X?? That doesn't sound very accurate to me.

That would mean that you gained about 5" of lift when you count the 2.5" spacer lift you've got right? Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't look anywhere close to 5" of lift.....just checking, because if this is the case then I'm buying some springs from an Unlimited Rubi.

I only have the Rough Country BB, was 139.00. That comes with shock extensions so you retain your stock shocks. You can also order this kit with the RC 2.2 shocks for about 300 bucks.

I am telling you yes they were close to 2.5 inches taller than my stock ones.....they were from an Unlimited Rubi. I should have taken pics but I knew what a bitch i was going to have getting them in....I forgot....

Hey man that looks AWESOME!


Do you have the 3/4" Front spacer as well.

What size are your wheels, they're awesome

Wow, I didn't realilze they were that much longer...I parked next to an Unlimited Rubi after I installed my 1.75" lift to see the difference and mine is higher.



Not calling you a liar or anything like that, that's not the case at all...maybe you just got lucky? who knows...

No 3/4 spacers for me. Didn't need them and don't really like the idea of putting spacers on top of spacers.

the wheels are 18x9 pro-comps. I know its not the biggest or baddest, but it turns heads everywhere I go
