Default Take off springs

Will 15-rubicon unlimited springs work on a 12- 2dr sahara?

Thanks in advance

Yes. Springs are not Rubicon specific so you should check to make sure you do not already have the same or better springs. Look at the stickers on the springs. The last two numeric digits tell you which ones you already have. The fronts go up to 19 with 19 being the tallest/stiffest. The rears go up to 60. You can expect approximately 3/8" lift per spring number depending mostly on the weight on your vehicle.

As others stated, yes they will fit no problem. I put 17/58 on my '15 2 door and it now sits level. I also put Rubicon shocks for stiffer ride. Love the stance and the ride.

I have another set 17/58 of low mileage coils sitting in the garage if you're interested.

Wow. Thanks guys. I will go check and see what I have now. I am running Rancho 9000xl shocks so hopefully that will help give me a good ride.

Also, I called 4wh parts and they want to charge me $400 to install the coils. Doesnt this sound $$$$?

$400 is a bit ridiculous. I've never done the swap before so I watched a few YouTube videos, bought the proper jack and did it myself in my garage. It's pretty straight forward and doesn't require any special tools.

If you have a floor jack, jack stand and ability to remove your tires you can droop your suspension, remove the spring retainers and the springs will fall out. Slide the new springs in and jack the axle back up so you can put your tires back on. That's pretty much it.

I wish I could do this on my own. All my tools were stolen so I am outta luck there at the moment and I dont have any jack stands. I guess I need to call around some other places. Thanks tho for the info.
