Default Rubicon Unlimited Shocks and Springs on a Sport

So I'm looking into buying a full set of Rubicon Unlimited Shocks and Springs:

Part number for front springs-6318AC
Part number for back springs-4459AA

I read through about 12 billion posts, but all of them were also using some type of BB or lift already...mine will be going onto my stock 2010 sport Soft Top (Smittybilt Tube Bumpers and Running Boards only weight difference).

So my question is, has anyone done this specifically? Do I need to worry about the brake lines or anything else? How much lift should I expect to gain? Any reason not to do this?

Thank you!!!

I have a set of springs that were very lightly used that I need to get rid of

You will be just fine running those springs. I have a 2012 JKU with Rubi shocks and 19/60 springs. What spring rate do you have on there now?

You will be fine, won't need to make any adjustments.

See this thread to figure out how much lift you will get:

I think the most anyone has gotten from going from a 2 door to 4 door springs is around 2". The Rubi shocks will give you a better ride, but stiffer springs might make it more bumpy.

I have installed no problems. I have pics in profile you can look and compare. I am parked next to several models.
