4-door springs on a 2-door: How much lift?
So I installed a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift on my Unlimited and the fiance drives a 2-door. I want to know how much lift can I expect by putting my stock 4-door springs on her Jeep? Is it even worth my time? I don't plan on installing bigger tires on her rig for a while but just looking for som more height, maybe add some wheel spacers, just to make it look a little beefier. I would rather not wast an afternoon knowing it's only going to lift it 1/2". Also -- would I need longer shocks? Anyone with experience doing this please chime in.

It kind of depends on the spring numbers from your Rubi. The stiffer the springs the more of a 'lift' (not much) you'll get. There is an entire thread dedicated to this topic: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...rings-Question

You could very well wind up with 1/2" or less if your old springs are close in number to the new rubi springs. Shock extensions aren't needed.
