Default TF BB with Rubi springs / how much lift?

i have a TF BB (3/4" rear, 1.5" front) leveling kit on my 2008 JKU. i am going to be adding Rubi springs from a 2013 (hopefully they fit) next month and am wondering how much lift over stock i am going to have. i am shopping for shocks and am trying to get a good estimate so that i can be sure to get the right ones.

i am looking at a pull-off set from another member and am wondering if they will work.

Fox Racing Shox 985-24-015 - Fox Racing Front 2.0" Factory Performance Series Remote Reservoir Shock for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with 2-8" Lift - Quadratec

anyone else running anything close to this?

thanks,

you will probably gain about 2 upfront and 2.5 rear. i put a 2.5 puck upfront and 2 at rear and gained about 3.5 front and 3 rear on my rubi based on a sport.

It depends, do you have a leveling kit or a BB? Not really clear there. My JKU has a 2.5BB and Rubi springs, ended up about 2.8-3" all the way around.

i guess it would be a leveling kit and not a BB.

Their BB has a 2.5" spacer in the front. And for the 08, the front springs are different from one another to account for the weight of the gas tank. Around '09 they changed it and now use same springs on each side in the front. When I installed 18"s on the front of my 07, it was leaning to one side. I had to change one of them out to a 17 to even it out.

thanks for the heads up. now that you mention it, i do recall reading that thread a while back. so much for free springs off a friends new Rubi. at least the front anyway. i am sure i can still find some cheap springs.
after a few different discussions, i'm figuring anywhere from a 2-3" over stock lift.

does that sound about right?
