to all,i bought the stuff to get some extra lift in addition to the 2 inch spacer lift i already installed.i noticed just a little more body roll,and had hopes of the rubicon springs giving me another 1/2 to 1 inch of lift,and a little more body roll control-ie stiffer springs.another reason is the difference in unsprung weight when i put 33s on it.id like a little better shock valving and a little stiffer spring to counter act.i think the rubicon springs and shocks will help this.i do pull a small trailer with it(for the harley)and i plan on adding bumpers etc to it.

and to answer another question,my posts states i have an unlimited,and the rubicon stuff came out of an unlimited.

i dont think it was a waste of money,and just one step further to having a rubicon.next step,44 front and 4:1 t case.and just to answer the obvious cracks that will come with that statement.id rather build it than buy it,and i wont disgrace rubicon owners,or my x model,by adding rubicon stickers.

i was asking,to verify what i suspected,and my questions were answered.even if it doesnt give me much,or any additional lift,i think the better shocks and better spring rates will work nicely with the lift already in place,and the bigger tires.-Brian
