Default Help please....guidance as it were

Have a jku sahara 2014 and am wondering what the benefit is of going with rubicon springs and shocks would be. If it'll ride as good, the height change, what tires I can go with???? I think that's it.

IF you have a hard top you will see no difference in ride quality or height as you likley have the same coils and the sahara has a heavy duty suspension with gas charged shocks standard.

You might gain a half inch of height then. Look at your coils and get the number off the white tag it so you can know what you have.

19s (the last two numerics in the number on the white tag) are the stiffest/longest springs for the front and 60s for the rear. So if you have 19/60s or 18/59s or a combination of either, you won't see a height increase.

Given you have a 4 door, it's not worth the effort. Wheel back space and fender clearance are really the factors to tire size that you should focus on.
