So, it will def level your front and you will notice a small change in the rear.
It depends on what model spring you have (last two digits on the tag) and what models you swap in. If you have a 14 or 15 and swap to the 17 or 18, you might get 1/2 inch to and inch. You have to be careful though since some Rubis had very light load springs (saw a 2010 2dr Rubi with the same as my 2dr Sport.) There's a thread on here that has a lot of info about this:

I agree.
Entirely not worth the effort.
Perhaps I am just getting lazy(er) with age, but replacing springs takes time... and I'm pretty lazy. If I'm going to go through that effort (and mind you, I've done it twice
) I'd like to get a little something for that effort.
Is the reason you're looking at these Rubi springs because of budget reasons?
Might I suggest either saving up longer for a coil lift, or going with a budget boost. My first lift was a budget boost, and I ran it fine for years. When I got done with it I sold it for darn near 70%+ it's original cost. So, in all honesty, I came out pretty good.
I don't know... just some food for thought.

If your on a limited budget and a bumper is in the mix, I think the springs are a good choice.....
I paid $150 just for my Rubi rails. So, if I had no lift at the time and also got a free set of Rubi springs, I'd be all over that.
I guess I was assuming the OP was paying someone for their springs. I guess I was just thinking in the back of my mind that a 2.5" BB can be had for $140...
But, again, free changes everything.
