Rubicon vs. X Springs
What's the difference between the springs that come on the Rubicon and the ones that come with the X (2 door)? I hear people changing them out when they get bumpers and winches and that stuff...so I'm curious.

Apparently there is like 23 different variants of springs....length, stiffness....girth..(ok not girth
just seemed like the direction I was going there

I threw in some Unlimited Rubi Springs when I did my lift....the fronts were almost 2.5 inches longer than the stock ones...the rears were the same length....I lost my rake but when I put the bumper and winch on it all evened out...

Since NO ONE is mentioning this important point:
The Rubicon coils are the SAME DAMN PART #'s as the coils for the X and Sahara's.
The ONLY difference in lift is because some one did a UNLIMITED (4dr) Rubi coil swap onto a Two Door JK.
IE: The 4 dr's are heavier than the 2 drs....so ANY 4 dr coil (Not just a 4 dr Rubi coil....) will give A TWO DOOR more lift.
If you swap on a 4 dr rubi coil set to your 4 dr X, you may in fact be swapping in the EXACT same coil as your X MIGHT have come from the factory with.
Hope that makes sense.....its the 4 dr vs 2 dr, NOT the Rubi Coil itself, that makes the coil swap mean anything.
We had people swap in 4 dr Rubi coils onto their 4 dr X's....and, NOTHING DIFFERENT height or ride to notice....same part #.

I am not doubting what you say, just trying to get my head wrapped around this...
