Default Lift Swap from '07 Rubi to a '11 Rubi Unlimited?

I've decided to trade in my '07 Rubi for a '11 Rubi Unlimited...The '07 is currently running with a RC 2.5" Progressive Coil Lift and a 1.25" BL. My question is can I in fact reuse this setup on the '11 Unlimited? I was hoping to build up the Unlimited right away by using this set up. Do the Unlimiteds have more body mounts or are they just spaced further apart? Also I'm not sure if I'll get back my 2" or so lift as the coils are for a 2dr and not a 4dr Anyone have thoughts on any of this

The coils will probably yield 1 inch less when put on a unlimited. I will go check on the # of body mounts on my unlimited

If you find someone on the forum who put the 1.25" BL on a 2 dr 2009+ they should have 2 extra blocks laying around since they removed the mounts from the rear crossmember. Then again if you have 10 already they may be removed on the new 4 dr as well so you may have enough blocks already.

Pucks will not work for the new style of body mount. Buy what you need
