Default Do 4dr Rubi springs give more lift to a 2dr Rubi?

I have a 2.5"BB, and I'm considering putting in a 2.5" coil lift instead (trying to maximize my clearance without having to add a billion new components or driveshafts).

Another thought I had was to add 4dr Rubi coils to my current 2.5"BB and call it a day. Will the 4dr Rubi springs add any additional height, or will they be the same as the 2dr Rubi springs?

thanks!

Look at the tags on your springs then read this thread:

thanks for pointing me to that thread, I've never read it before. Still slightly confusing, but I think I get it.

Do I need 19 for left, 18 for right on the front, and then 60 for left, 59 for right on the rear?

Any idea how much I'll gain if I added it to mine? I don't want to go beyond the 3" max for a 2dr (which would then need all new components).

Cheers!

Just to clarify, it will be close to 3" WITH the 2.5" BB factored in as well, or by itself WITHOUT a BB it will be 3"?

I just checked, and they are 14/55 on mine.
