Default Rancho Sport 2" w/ 9000's Worth It?

Currently I have Rubi #59 coils in the rear and Rubi # 16 coils in the front with Rubi shocks on my X. I also have teh TF spacer leveling kit. I am able to clear my 33's fine now. Will I see any gain from the Rancho Sport 2" w/ the 9000's? Would this be worth it? I'm not looking to go bigger than 33" ever.

Daphne,

Are you happy with your ride now? There are only 2 real gains for going with the new lift. First off being a full new set of coils and shocks will make the Jeep ride a little better if it's kind of rough right now. Next, you'll see a little more performance off-road.

The shocks will really be the biggest thing that's going to make the most difference. The adaptability of the RS9000's will let you dial your rig in for whatever terrain your on. You can have a nice ride on the street, then you'll be able to hit some trails and have good flex and rebound.

Hope this gives you some insight! Feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

-Zach

So one of the Jeeps we built this system around was our 2012 JKUR. So you will see a gain over stock. Do you plan on updating the front bumper or adding a winch, by chance? We built in the front a little "bump" in height so if you do it will sit level with the bumper and/or winch combo.
If you look at the cost of this system vs just shocks it is a strong deal.
Don't forget about the rebate as well.

Yeah I just purchased a bumper but it is pretty light (Olympic). I may be better served going with the 3 inch?
