This may be a dumb question but are the rubicons the same height as the sport s and Sahara models? I understand the components are upgraded but is the stock ride height the same across the board? Thanks guys sorry for the newb question.

 

Rubicons tend to have stiffer springs which help give it a slight lift. The higher the spring # on the tag the stiffer they are.
I swapped out my sahara springs and shocks for rubi ones and got like a 1.25" lift from it

 

The correct answer is within the numbers on the coils from model to model. My low level sport will sit higher than a rubicon simply due to the higher coil number.

So it's not a yes or no question- there are other factors in play.

 

a stock Rubicon will sit taller then a stock sport if both have the same spring coils simply because it comes with taller tires 255/75-17 vs 225/75-16. A Sahara with the same springs actually will sit a tad taller because the 255/70-18's are a tad taller. A sport S with 255/75-17's should be the same unless the Goodrich tires on a Rubicon are a little taller then the street tread Goodyears. Hypothetically a 255/75-17 should all be the same size but that is not always the case. I know Jeep says the Sahara has the greatest ground clearance and that is because the taller tires.

It however has been proven time and time again that on the internet the Rubicon has special springs and shocks and sits much taller lol. It is so hit or miss on what gets what lol. I should say the 10A rubicon does have slightly taller spring package then the standard Rubicon/sport/sahara

 

Awesome info guys thanks! Also I have a '12 sport, will someone's original rubi tires fit on my rims?

 

Yes the Rubi tires will fit, as long as you have 17" wheels on your sport.

 

You can get someones take offs (tires and wheels) at a reasonable price as well.

 

Thanks guys

 

What kind of #'s should I be looking for?

 

A sport S comes with the 255/75/17 just like the Rubi... also the 10A has a slightly smaller tire 265/70/17 I believe
