Hey guys. Just picked up my 2016 on Saturday so I'll be playing with the 2011 Unlimited Sahara for the first time. I don't have the cash to dump into it heavily but I found a 2" AVE spacer kit on craigslist for $50 new in box so i figured what the hell, easy start. They guy gave me a shit ton of stuff with is. He gave me Rubicon Springs Rear numbers are 68024461AA and 68004257AA and fronts 68196006AA. He also gave me the red stock shocks. These are all brand new take off. look mint. I got another set off an X Rear number 68004459AA and front 52126317AC. So in total for $50 I got a 2" spacer lift, 3 sets of rear springs and 2 sets of fronts and red shocks.

Putting this on and have no idea on what to run for the springs. Im going to run the Rubicon shocks. Found lots of conflicting info on here. Some guys so there is no difference in stance, other say 1" lift. Some say the springs are stiffer and some say you cant feel any difference. Any info or advice would be great. Or a link to a thread that would help me out (I've looked with no real success) I know this is talked about a lot but there is so much info and different spring numbers I cant wrap my head around it. Sorry if this is redundant.

 

I'm so confused on what you have spring wise. Lol. Post pics of the tags on the springs. Also what spring numbers are currently on your jeep?

 

Not sure whats on there now. Ill go look

 

Your rubi fronts appear to be 10A coils. The rest can be found in "stock springs, let's solve this". Highest numbers win, with the exception of the 10A's- they're down in the single digit range.

 

I was thinking the same thing. If you have 2 of those 10A then throw them up front.

If you have 2 59s or 61s throw those on rear.

 

Thanks guys. Neighbor ended up coming over and come to find out he is a Jeep head. I went with the 68024461AA rear springs and the 68196006AA up front. Compared to all the other springs they were 1.5" taller unsprung. Not sure what their weighted height difference would be but compressed they are 1 coil less compressed than the springs I pulled out of it. All said and done my stock fenders are now 41" tall. 4" lift up front and 3" in the rear. All measurements were taken with roof and doors off.

 

From your first post, I got the impression that you wanted to do this on the cheap?

With 4 inches of lift (3.5" after top and doors go back on?), you are looking at wanting caster correction, axle centering, bumpstops, longer shocks, longer brakelines, draglink flip/drop pitman, etc, etc, etc. Basically, a full on lift kit...

 

Didn't think I was going to be that high.
