Default Adding rubicon springs and shocks to a 14 sport?

Would adding only rubicon shocks and springs to my 14 jk give me any amount of lift? If so how much roughly?

shocks wont but they will be an improvement performance wise. springs will depend on what springs you have and what the ones of the rubicon you are going to install. other then the 10A springs can be the same between all models of wranglers depending on various things that nobody really knows. your springs have a tag on them the last two numbers followed by letters ie 17aa 58AC etc are the numbers you need to look for. the higher the numbers the higher the springs will lift. other then the 10A's which are 006 and 009 and they will lift the highest. common belief is about 1/8-1/4" per each increase in numbers.

IIRC, 19 is the highest front spring number and 60 in the rear. So 19/60 will give you the highest lift. 18/59s the second highest etc..

I went from 14/56 to 17/58 and I gained 3/4" up front and 1 1/4" in the rear. I like the ride of these springs as well. Definitely an improvement.

Forgive me but what do those numbers signify?
