Default Sport 4-door suspension on 2-door model?

Exactly what the title says, can my stock Jk sport suspsension and coil spacers fit on a 2-door model? I recently got a new lift kit and have my stock springs and shocks along with my Warrior Products 2.25" coil spacers.

Now, say it can fit...should my buddy bother thinking about putting it on his jeep? He has a 2011 2-door. The parts have about 29k on them. Would there be any benefit from this? He maybe has 15k on his springs and shocks.

Yes they will fit. Some folks will get a small lift by doing this. It all really depends on what your springs are rated. There is a number system to identify...there should be a color tag on the spring with a part number....you are looking for the last two digits. 19 in front and 60 rear seems to be the strongest spring set available.

It really depends on what his current springs are rated and what yours are rated.

The springs will fit. Your 4dr rated springs may give his 2dr a little lift.

So unless my spring rates are better, he should just stick with the coil spacers....

that is right... The fronts will vary from 12-19. Rears vary from 55-60. I had 12/55 combo on my 2dr X, i put 18/59's on there and gained 1.5" lift out front and 2" in the rear...

So ie: if ur buddy has 17/58's and urs are 16/57's he would be lowering it by installing them

That is correct. Here is what the part number tags will look like...

Well, lets hope the tags are still on... they are still at the shop waiting for a big box to pack it up. Will pick em up when I go back for a re-torque in about a month...

Either way, he'll get a lift from the spacers... he's gonna need to swap the sway bars too... he can take my old rear ones since mine came with new ones anyway.
