Hey bud,
I got a 08 rubi with 1 3/4 spacer front 3/4 space rear. 1 1/2 wheel spacer with 16 inch tl black craigers and 285/75 r16 MTR's(33.2 inches) with no rubing and it looks great. Also I got under cost with daystar

Default I got mine done, but I may be an idiot as a mechanic..

because it took me 4 hours (way more than the reported 40 minutes that I saw above) doing it the shade tree method. I used three car jacks and took the wheels off 1 at a time. I have no idea how this could be done without removing the wheels as the poster above did, but whatever.

The front passenger was the hardest for some reason-it was difficult to get that spring back in, but I did and all is well. For the back I had to undo the brake line bracket and the abs line bracket from the frame to allow the axle to have enough drop to get the springs in and out. I have no pics yet, I finished at 6:30 last night (just in time to catch the game).

I drove it this morning and there was no discernable difference in ride quality. Next I will be doing 1.5 inch wheel spacers to give my Sahar a little better stance. After my tires go, I will be going to 33X 12.5x18 DC fcII (had them on my TJ -15 inch rim-and loved them)

Don't sweat how long long it took you to do it... All good things in all good time! Looks so much better and glad you are happy with the results. I'm so glad I went with the leveling kit.

The leveling kit really HELPS the damned nose dive on hard braking. Doesn't make it nearly as crap yourself entertaining.

Still loving it after a week and a half. Takes a little more effort to hop up into the Jeep though.
