In the long run you wood be happier with a2 inch coil lift from: Teraflex it comes with everything you need and you can still use the Ruby shocks. Then if you're ever down the road add a winch and a bumper then all you have to do is add a puck up front and to be level again.welcome to the forum

Better yet, go with the coil and shock swap for probably $140, along withe JKS ACOS, and spend less money than you would for the super stiff TF coils by themselves.

I hear folks only report about 1/2 inch increase in lift from the Rubi springs....might want to do some research here or on other forums before you spend the bucks.
