Rubi spring swap

I have seen a good amount of unlimiteds with 13s and 54s so nothing for sure says yours are taller than mine from the factory. Yes they most likely are, but until you look at the springs nobody knows. Did a swap to 19/59s and got 2 inches front and 1.75 in the rear after they settled. If I didn't put the rear in mine would actually set higher in the front (like what a leveling kit would do) but it sets almost perfect as is. So look at your tags and tell us what you have and then we can see what you can look forward to.

Well it should work out perfect for you (going to 19/59s)! You should expect around 2 inches in the front if you get the same results as I did and about .5-1 inches rear so it should have a very nice stance for all that you have in it. Also my shocks and everything have worked very well with this set up. In my opinion if all you want is a level stance I would do this over a leveling kit because it is just a little more. And if your worried about the warranty you should also be fine because chances are they will never notice.
Went from 14/55's to 18/59 Rubi springs, shocks, tires, wheels and added Spidertrax spacers. Totally happy with results. Check out my additional pics in profile parked next to other stock Jeeps for comparison.
