JK X swap to JKU Rubi shock and coils plus a TF level kit questions....
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section.....
I am planning on swaping my JK X shocks and coils with JKU Rubi shock and coils then adding a TF leveling kit.
( i checked the numbers and they are stiffer)
Questions are:
Will this cause any issues with my drive shaft on the 2dr X ? ( I figure it won't be higher than a 2.5 Coil lift????)
Will I need to add bump stops in the front or rear.
I have a set of TF front bump stops extentions laying around
Will the stock rubi shocks be ok, or should I add extentions ( have front and rear extentions on the shelf collecting dust)
The TF leveling kit includes new links so I shouldn't have an issue swapping those out.
Are there any other issues that I should be concerned with?
Front or rear track bar or brackets?
Wheels spacers?
Controll arms?
Anyone else out there have this set up?
I am just trying to rule everything out before i have it tore apart and have to wait a week for parts.
Thanks

I'm looking at the same type of set up. I'm currently running the stock 2dr x spring and shocks with spacer and extensions. I received the following message at another forum about jku rubi switch.
"I think it gets a little tricky. Those who put 4 door rubi springs and shocks on 2 door Xs usually get 1-2" of lift. With the 2.5-3" of lift you already have from the spacers, you are looking a potential total of 4-5" of lift.
At that point, I think you will want adjustable control arms to get all the angles right again and possibly look into getting a new drive shaft. "
is this something i should be concerned with!
