How much lift with Rubi springs?
I currently have a 2011 Unlimited with no tow package. If I were to buy a set of springs off a Rubi unlimited either w or w/o tow package, how much lift can I expect to see. Also are there any other parts that I should get with the springs? Also is this the best way to go? I have looked at the Rock Krawler 2.5 and this just seems like a cheaper way out, but am I sacrificing too much? Just for some background info I will go offroad very rarely and this is my daily driver. I also will probably not go any bigger than 33's. Thank you for any help that can be offered.

I have an X. 2dr. Last summer I upgraded shocks and springs from another 2dr Rubi. I netted 1/2" all around. Mileage was comparable.
Just bought the Rock Krawler 2.5 max travel. SHould ba a major improvement and really...the right way to go.

Oh my, this question has been answered here many times. I belive the lift ranges fron an inch to up to two inches if lift..
Best yet is a coil lift from say Terra Flex. I say them because that is what I put in, and it went very easy with great results..

check the numbers on your front springs. there should be a tag on them. I think the 17/18 (last digits) are the heaviest.
This thread may help.

I had 13/14 (last digits) on my 2dr. and replaced them with the 17/18. Got around 1 to 1-1/2" lift. You're probably not going to see much lift on the unlimited since it probably has a fairly heavy set to start. Oh ya, the higher the last 2 digits, the heavier the spring.
