This is the reply I received from Teraflex regarding the spring leveling kit. I have a '14 JKUR so take that into consideration. But may help your opinion.

"Hi Stuart. Our spring leveling kit on a Rubicon will provide about an inch of lift in the front and ¼”to a ½” in the rear. The Rubicon comes with a taller spring than a standard model jeep. You will still get the leveling effect from our lift. Our springs are a slightly higher spring rate than a stock spring. Our spring provide a smooth ride while removing the mushy feeling from a stock spring. You can retain your stock shocks and tires and rims with no need for wheel spacers. The extended sway bar links we provide will work fine with the elec. Disco. This is an effective way to gain a mild lift improve handling, but still maintaining close to stock suspension geometry.
Thanks for your interest,
Doug."

I've seen that ^
What's with "the rubicon comes with a taller spring"

That is definitely not true. The only model rubicon with a taller coil is the 10a

That's what I thought too. I have the regular Rubicon. Not the 10a. That being said, I figured I'd see a little more from the spring level kit.

The spring debate has been going on for years. 4 doors are more then likely to have the higher rated/taller coils. My 2 door Rubicon (w/ hardtop) had 15 front and 54 rear I believe. I've never seen a stock jeep with the 19/60 people buy direct from Mopar.
