Default Lift Help

So ive seen where people have put Rubicon Springs and Shocks on there Unlimited Sport and gained like 2" of lift. Is this true? I know it depends on what your springs are rated for from the factory and all. But if it will work for me would i need anything else to go with the added "lift"?

p.s. I have a tock 2010 Unlimited Sport

Yes this works. I originally had the lowest # springs and swapped onto 18/59 Springs and Rubicon shocks. You can see what I gained in the pics.

U most likely have the all black shocks, they come factory on sport and Sahara models. Rubicons get the red ones which are stiffer

Check the tags that are on the springs. The last two numbers for the front springs would be 17 or 18 or 19. Rears would be like 58 or 59 or 60. The lower the number means its a softer spring.

My 08 Sahara gained 1/2 in. when I put rubicon (dual tops and tow package) springs. The numbers on the tags were one number higher on the new springs, I don't remember actual numbers.
