Default Going back from Rubi springs to stock X springs..

So Im ditching the Rubicon springs I have and putting my stock X springs back. I can't take the harsh ride anymore.

I have a 3/4 spacer in front as well.

Besides alignment what else do I need to do? Will I need to re-adjust my adjustable track bar?

Anything I should know when installing the springs, since a shop did it the first time so this will be my first time installing the springs..

Thanks!

If your keeping the spacer in, your trackbar adj should be minimal if any, prolly just have to recenter the steering wheel. Just look at one of the project jk lift install write ups for your spring install for help.

Thanks MK.

As far as re-installing the stock springs, I remember reading that a certain OEM part number is supposed to go on the driver side and the other on the passenger side.

Does anyone know anything about this?

When I pulled the factory springs off my sahara, the p/n's that ended with a "B" were on the passenger side.

I also believe that the spring with the higher PN goes on the passenger side. I'm not 100% certain on this...more like 99.658% so you may want to do a little checking to be positive.

mmm... this is good feedback. Did you install Rubi shocks as well? I'm wondering if the combination of Rubi shocks and springs might be a better ride with the resulting 1" or so spring lift.

I was wondering that as well. I actually thought my Rubi handled rough roads better/smoother than a stock '10 sport I drove.
