Default Spring question

Looking at Rubicon Springs off JKU with duel tops and tow package off 2012 to put on my 2010 2 dr sport, will they fit? Has any thing changed on 2012? 99% sure they will go right in but dont wat to spend money unless im sure.

they will fit just fine but really, i wouldn't waste your time installing them. i know others will swear by it but trust me, the amount of lift you will get out of them will be negligible.

If it is lift you are after, the amount of lift is small and different on every rig - but the improvement in ride and handling is worth the effort considering how easy the swap is. I don't think the stock Sport shocks would control the stiffer springs very well, however. I'd come up with some better shocks to make the effort worthwhile.

I installed JKU Rubicon with tow package springs on my 2dr sport this past Saturday. The ride is great and it lifted the Jeep almost 2 inches. I didn't change the shocks out yet, but after driving
it I think I'll wait. My Jeep is my daily driver and will only see light offroading for now, I have an ATV for heavy trailriding. For what I wanted I think this will be the perfect amount of lift, for now
at least. Now I need to get my new tires and I will be satisfied, until I can sneak some more mods past my wife.

I went from a 12/13 front spring combo to a 18/19 and got nearly 2 inches I dont remember rear spring numbers but I got almost 2 inches also, its well worth it if you have low numbered springs

I already have a 2.5 Rough Country BB and skyjacker shocks. I am looking for a better ride. I also tow a small pop up camper and i think these springs will help with the back end " squating ". And the loss in the front from my after market bumper
