Pic request - rubi shocks/springs on 33''
Got my 33x12.5x15's installed, and am thinking of upgrading the current 13/55 springs and sport shocks to 18/59 springs and rubi shocks. But I'm afraid it will make the 33''s look too small
Anybody got before/after pics?
Also does ride quality substantially improve?

It won't change the suspension height enough to make the tires look small. When I swapped them out I only gained maybe 1/4 inch on the JKU. The ride was much better in my opinion and well worth the small price paid.

I just put in slightly stiffer springs out of a 4 door into my 2 door and Rubi shocks and it makes a considerable improvement on ride quality for me. No longer feel as much roll on on road turns. Off road it bounces less as well which means I don't bottom out as often. Best bang for the buck IMO

Went from 14/56 to 18/59 with the rubi shocks. Now I just want bigger tires and a real lift but the spring/shock swap was a great budget friendly upgrade. I say go for it

I have 33's and pretty recently did a similar setup. Rancho 9000 series shocks, Rubi springs and a TF leveling kit and I have to say I truly love it. Sorry for the crappy pics but you get the general idea. I do a lot of highway driving so this definitely suits my style for now, though plan on wheeling a lot more this summer.
