Default Lift question

My buddy has a 2014 Unlimited Rubicon X and had the dealer put on a Mopar lift. He gave me his complete stock suspension. I am looking at a 2015 2door sport to wrench on, will the 2014 rubicon 4-door suspension parts work on a 2-door? I didn't know if the different spring ratings on a 4 door would make a difference. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

If it is a hard top you should get a good 2 inches putting it on a 2 door.

Depending on where you live, I'd rethink the AC. When it's raining in summer and it's 90° and humid....worth the $1200 imo. I didn't use mine last year until August. When the temp is over 100. I'm not ashamed.

I'll be the outcast... I have AC but I have only used it twice. As a disclaimer I run no doors if it's 32 degrees or higher, rain or shine. In the rain I have the soft top up, and side windows in but that's it. It's actually not bad without AC. The VA Humidity will kill you though and at a stand still it's miserable.

I have the X (old sport essentially) with AC, no power anything, and Cruise control. Ripped the carpet out and bed lined it and I don't care what the weather says, no doors!!!

those will give you some lift depending on your spring numbers. 60 rears are about tops and 18's are too, 19 is the most in the front for non 10A/X jeeps. rubi shocks are an upgrade over sports and you are correct the control arms are the same.
