Default 2013 stock rubicon parts on my sport after my brother lifts his?

Is this going to be worth the hassle of installing his removed stock parts after his lift on my 2012 sport or should i just save up for a good 2.5" lift? I got the jeep today and already have the bug and not a lot of knowledge. I did a search but did not come up with what I wanted.

Compare the numbers on your springs with the numbers on his. The. Search here for the "let's solve the stock spring" thread.

If it were me, I would save up for the 2 1/2' lift, you know you are going to want it and no sense of doing the job twice. moding your Jeep will never end, lift, tires, bumpers,winch, skids, ect......

I did not mention his Jeep is 4dr mine is a 2dr. there has to be some lift over what i have. as his is a 4dr will it cause one end or the other of my jeep to sit higher than the other? He is going to give me his wheels too which are really cool. but the tires are much bigger than my stock tires. i assume i need a lift to accommodate the larger tires. hope it is sooner rather than later those wheels are sweet..

We cannot answer this unless you tell us what springs you have and what springs he has.

Just go get yourself a 2.5" lift and do it once.
