rubicon springs/shocks on X
do a search . there is a very lengthy post about the stock springs and the numbers. some with an unlimited rubicon actually had lower rated springs than some of the x's. so find out what springs you have before starting. the shocks are definitely worth the swap. i got my rubi springs and shocks for $75 local so no shipping.

here is the thread
mine had the 13, 14 spring combo up front and i replaced with a 15,16 combo and would say with my bumper and winch it got me back to stock. i also added the tf leveling kit at the same time and came out nice and level

I went from 15/59 springs and shocks on my JKUx to 18/59 springs and Rubi shocks. I also added a Teraflex leveling kit. I picked up about 2.5" in the front overall and 1.5" in the rear.
Here's my before pic. I do have a 3/4" spacer up front.

Here's the after with the leveling kit and springs installed. It's not the best pic, but gives you an idea.

Ideally you will put JKUR springs on a 2 door JK, and if the doner springs are not at least 18/59 ( highest # are 19/60) it's hardly worth the effort. I have a 2 door and swapped 14/55 for 18/59 and got 1 1/2" of lift.
Completely worth the swap for BOTH springs and shocks. The Rubi red shocks are longer which will give you more articulation too! I installed 19/60's myself with the help of the TeraFlex videos on YouTube, very easy. I went from 16/58's and the ride was noticeably better, stiffer with less body roll.
