Default Best lift options for a Rubi DD

Curious as to the groups thoughts on this. Are the Rubi springs and shocks worth keeping and using a spacer lift? Or are you better off replacing them with a coil lift? This would be assuming that 33 or 34" tires were the ultimate goal. How do the Rubi shocks compare to a entry line of TF shocks? To Billstein 5100s? Stock Rubi springs versus any of the aftermarket springs? Thanks for the feedback

i suppose it depends on how you're planning to use your jeep. if you're just looking to run bigger tires but plan on using your jeep around town more than playing on the rocks, the coils with spacers will do the trick. the rubicon shocks are firmer than the ones that come on an x, sport or sahara but, they aren't a set of bilstein's or OME's. if you're looking to get a taller ride and one with good flex, new taller coils is the way to go.

That is what I needed to know. No rocks around here, but plenty of other stuff to play in. The ride is important, but capability is important too

I have bilsteins with my lift and the ride is much better than stock.

Do you want to just lift to get more ground clearance or do you want to get more articulation?

ground clearance is the main goal, but it will need to perform as well. No rocks here at the beach, but it woudl still be nice to perform well on the trail
