Default To Rubicon or not?

I have a 2013 2D sport, and have a chance to pick up some new take off Rubicon shocks for $100.00 . It sounds like a good deal. Will I be able to notice much of an improvement ? Trying to save some $$$.
Thanks!

Rubicon shocks are def better than sport. If you're going to install yourself go for it, but if you're going to pay for labor, pass.

You will feel the difference. It's a great, cheap upgrade!

That's not something I would pay for, especially if you are planning a lift in the future. Wait a while and you'll find people just wanting to get a pile of stock parts out of their garage. (depends on your area, I guess?)

The Rubicon red shocks are a better grade than the black sports. You will notice a difference.

You can probably find them cheaper. Offer $50.
