Default Jku newbie question

Hey everyone, I just bought a '17 JKU Sport w/ cold weather package so it has the 265/70r17 BFG A/T as my new DD. I had got a '17 Rubicon suspension from a friend and was going to put it on to make mine alil bigger. I have seen the post on the other forums but not a real clear answer. I don't want to do the work if not is going to come of it. I am a NEWBIE to JK's but not Jeeps, I have had 5 CJ's, WK's and have a YJ that is my toy. Any help is appreciated THANKS

You are not going to see much of a difference other then gaining the gas charged shocks will have a different ride and you may get 1/2" in extra height. A lot of work for no real gain. The biggest gains are putting #60 /18 coils on 2 door sport. The fact it is a rubicon means nothing as the coils can be found on JKU models depending on the options.
