Default Rubicon Springs or Teraflex?

Im looking to bring up my sag and i do not want to buy a whole new lift!

I have a 2010 Sport With a 3 inch fabtech spacer lift that uses 3 inch spacers and stock coils. After adding my bumpers and winch i feel as if its lower than it once was. maybe its all in my head who knows.

Since i want to upgrade my coils anyway i would also like to help with the sag if i can.

Should i keep the spacers and just add Unlimited Rubicon Coils? or should i add teraflex 2.5 inch coils and sell my spacers?

My lift currently consists of this
This system includes a replacement Pitman Arm, front and rear Trac Bar relocation brackets, Sway Bar mounts, front and rear Bump Stop mounts and more. Proper front-end alignment is insured with this system due to the included adjustable alignment cams. Also included is a front driveshaft boot clamp kit to allow additional clearance between the front driveshaft and transmission during full suspension articulation.


Basically i want a 3.0-3.5 inch liftso i can run 35's and wasnt to do it the best way possible with the least amount of maintanence and spending the least. thanks

3" on a stock 2dr is almost a 5". 2.5" on a 2dr is around 3.5". So I would do the 2.5" coils with a 1/2"-3/4"-1" spacer to fine tune the height.

I love my Teraflex lift so will gladly support them but did want to mention that I sold my stock Rubicon coils to a friend to swap out his stock X coils and the gains he saw were quite impressive.

He has a teraflex 2.5" BB and adding my coils gained him and addituional 2" easily. His has a 2 door where mine is an unlimited with a two package. I don't know my old coil numbers but I know there are quite a few of them so it depends on which ones you get.

Unless you can get someones Rubi coils on the cheap, you can't really go wrong with the Teraflex. My ride is much better with the TF coils.

Oh, when I installed my TF coil lift, I gained about 3" rather than the stated 2.5". Might even be a little bit more than 3" but hard to say. But, my firend with the TF 2.5" BB and my old coils now sits higher than me...

There's not, I don't have program were I can input your winch/bumpers weight and get a ride height. There's too many variables. I would do the 2.5" coils and 1" spacers.
