Thanks for the thread. I have a '10 Sport and have a Rubi Unlimited w/ tow package set of coils/shocks sitting in my garage now. I've been debating on putting it all on, but I'll be getting a winch soon. That being the case, I might just let it coast until then. I'm guessing the front coils will level it out with the stock rears.
Oh, who am I kidding...I'll put it all on and if it droops with the winch I'll get OME coils or spacers at the least to level it out again.

If you were, I'd get the numbers for you.I figure since it's a 4-door tow package Rubi, they're the heaviest ones there are. Could be wrong.
Regardless of what the numbers say, I'll try them to see how they look on my rig with my bumper/winch setup, so I haven't bothered to check the numbers.

Gotcha. I thought maybe you were asking for yourself for some reason. If you were, I'd get the numbers for you.

55 to 58 (gained 1" rear)
the heaviest rears are 60. the heaviest fronts are 18.

I took a look at the springs. The Rubi fronts are 15/16 and the rears are 58. My fronts are both 14, and I didn't crawl underneath to check the stock rears. I'm guessing those fronts won't do any more than compensate for a not-too-heavy bumper and maybe a synth line winch. But actually, that'll be cool, esp w/ the better Rubi shocks.
For zero $, it's worth a little time to try it.
