Rubicon shocks and 1.75" spacer
I added rubi springs to my 4 dr, went from lower #'s to 18/19's in the front, same jump in #'s for the back, I think 59's. Also added 1.75 spacers on top of coils. What else do I need to do to dial in the Jeep. I went the Rubi spacer route to avoid having to replace everything; Trackbar, LCA's etc.. But the Jeep is just not feeling right, a little flighty on the highway. What else do I need to change out. Do I really need an adjustable trackbar or any other major changes? I do think I need to loosen the Control arms to reseat the bushings, already did the Track bar.

Doesn't matter how you gain height. The issues are the same with spacers or taller springs.
With Rubi springs and 1.75" spacers you probably gained a little more than 2" of height. That makes the stock shocks pretty short. The smallest shock extensions from somebody like Tereflex will put the frame height back into synch with the shock length. (Or you could change to a longer set of shocks.)
Either geometry correction brackets or adjustable lower control arms will improve the steering if it feels flighty.
2" of lift is barely enough to sweat about the front axle location, but if you are worried about it an adjustable front track bar will let you center the axle perfectly.

Oh yeah bought longer shocks, just need to install them. I too am running the Rubi shocks now until I get the others installed. I guess I will look into geometry correction brackets. Any recomendations?
