I did put the 19s up front today in place of the 17s. Gained a little over 1/2 an inch. Not hardly 3/4... But I think it looks great and is a noticeable difference in looks and ride. Feels really solid upfront. I also did the 9/16th bolts upfront, haven't done the rears yet, but my jeep is starting to drive like a sports car. Not really, but steering is very tight and responsive, which is what I'm going for before I do gears and 35s. Want to do the 9/16th bolts in the rear and put the new fox steering stabilizer on and hopefully save for the gears and new tires. But back to my post... Level =19/59 combo. And from what I can tell I've gained 2 1/2 up front and 1 5/8 in the back from when I bought my jeep. Hopefully this information helps someone. The bottom pinch seam is 1/4 of an inch higher in the front measuring from the ground...

2dr or 4dr? thinking maybe 19's with a 1" spacer might be the ticket for me.

I have 18/58 now on my unlimited, going with 19/59 after the winter for extra carrying capacity.

from everything I have read on here that going up only one size would be not worth the effort. I will be interested tho to hear your actual results as thinking of doing the same.

Default Rubi susp unlimited in 2 door x

I put the rubi unlimited in my 12 X springs shocks plus teraflex self leveling kit....very happy. Cheap and woks ok. Was a little flighty so I put the AEV brackets for now and the camber seams to be closer to stock. I am not a big off roader so was not concerned with loss of clearance. 34 on 18's no worries.

All the best...jason

I think you will be wasting your time and money going up one. I believe you achieve @ 1/2" per number. I have pics on profile next to stocker. I went from 14/55 to 18/59 with rubi shocks and got @ 1.5-1.75. Very happy and will add leveling kit down the road. Just a leveling kit might be your better bet or BB.
