I have an option to get new rubicon coil springs almost free. I was wondering if it would be worth the effort to install. I currently have stock springs on my 11 jku and a budget boost using coil spacers, although I'm getting some sag from the extra weight I've added lately and soon I'm installing a bumper. Would these be a good upgrade or would it just be better to get a whole new lift with springs rather than rubicon springs with spacers?

 

Honestly I think a new lift in general would be your best bet. I'd rather have something new with a higher integrity level. But almost free is difficult to pass up. Haha.

 

And it all depends on what number your springs are and what number the rubicon springs are. The higher the number the longer and stiffer the spring. Our 2012 Rubicon came only with 14's in the front.

 

I have an 08 X that had 13/14 springs on the front and 55's on the back. I switched them out with 18 fronts and 58 backs, along with the Rubicon shocks too, and gained almost 2" front and back... The real improvement is the ride and handling though - MUCH better! I also have a TF BB lift...

 

I went from 14 and 55 to 18 and 59 and got around 2 inches. No spacers.

 

So I would be going from 17 and 58 to 18 and 59. Doesn't seem like much difference I guess?

 

I don't know what you'd get from that, but I know by upgrading not only did I get taller, the ride improved also.

 

No, I don't think it is worth the effort. Try and get some 19 and 60. That might be better.

 

Cool, thanks for the input.
