Does anyone know a solid estimate for the amount of lift gained by switching out 2 door sport shocks and springs for 4 door rubi w/tow package shocks and springs? would any problems rise from doing this that i cant think of?

 

I would think a little bit say 1-2 ". It would be better to go with a cheap 4 ' lift. Once you put the rubi lift on you will realize I should have gone bigger.

 

I did this recently. Here is a link to my info.

Coil Spring Swap


And also here.

Factory Spring Swap

.

 

yeah, i'm kicking around a bunch of options right now, swap for rubi springs, RK stock mod, aev dualsport, a simple BB...ahh just cant decide. im super impatient but i think im just going to save for the RK stock mod with bilsteins, might as well do it right the first time.

 

You get some lift, but the amount is not very predictable. Changing to rubi springs and shocks is more about the Jeep handling its weight better and riding better than getting a lot more height. Remember the donor rubi was not much heavier and (according to Jeep) the same height as a Sport.

The rubi springs make a much better base for a spacer lift, but by the time you get the springs and spacers you might as well have bought the right springs. Either way its the same amount of work.

 

I gained a good amount on my sagging low number springs. I swapped for 18/59 springs.

I am running 285/70/17 BFG A/T KO tires on stock wheels with 1.5" RC wheel spacers.

Here's my original look when I bought from Dealer:



Here it is sitting today:







Oh... And here is a picture of it with stock tires and Rubicon suspension:

 

The ride is really stiff with the rubi suspension
