puttin some rubi stuff on sahara? ?
This weekend im getting stock Rubi rims and stock BFG MTs for my 07 Sahara unlimited along with Rubi shocks and springs. Now my question is when I go to install the springs and shocks should I put some spacers in while im at it, in effect giving myself a lift? If so what size front/back? I don't know how long ill have to stick w/ just stock Rubi tires, but could be a while before I have $ to upgrade. So id like a height that looks good with them, but might fit bigger in the future, if that's possible. Btw, mostly daily driving, w some light offload use. Thanks for any input...

If the Rubi coils are a higher number than your sahara coils then they will give you a little bit of lift. If they are the same or lower number then don't bother swapping them in (for obvious reasons). I wouldn't worry about the extra spacer now because to put it in there in the future is cake.
Jack up by the axle, remove tires, put stands just behind the CA mounts, disco sway bar, take out the bottom bolt for the shock, drop the axle. The coils will pop right out. No need for taking off the track bar or brake lines, there is flex room.
