Default Four door 10th anniversary rubicon springs on a 2 door

Well I decided to try a set of 10th anniversary springs on my two door. So far I've only finished the front but I'll have before and after pics tomorrow when I finish the rear. The front is up 3" at the fender from my 13/14 springs, but it may settle some tonight. Be warned this lifts more than expected!

Do you have a winch or aftermarket front bumper?

No, just the stock bumpers for now. I will say the 10a rubicon front springs are definitely longer than the stock ones so its not just the spring rate lifting it.

The regular stiffest 4 door springs (nothing special for rubicons, the spring rates just go by vehicle weight or whatever Jeep wants to throw in there, it isn't based on Rubi, sport saharah) generally give the 2 doors with lowest spring rates about 2-2.5". And Jeep decided for the big special 10A edition, they would go ALL OUT and throw an extra 1/2" of height on there lol. So there ya go

Managed to get 3" in the front and 2" rear. Pics coming. They were the 10A specific spring numbers. Just FYI the stock x shocks are complete junk!

Yup I second that replaced mine with Rubi shocks. Very shocks. Look forward to pics. I installed regular 18/59 springs on my rig.
