Default Rubi Springs/Shocks on an Unlimited X

So I just picked up some 08 Rubi Shocks/Springs (thanks Inlo) to put on my 09 Unlimited X. I have read others doing this but I am a complete Newbie and just wanted to confirm if this is just a simple swap out? Any other modifications I will need to make (ext brake lines, wheel spacers, etc) Only suspension work I have on the X is a Teraflex leveling kit with 32" tires.

THX

Check your spring numbers against the Rubi spring numbers. They might be the same if you have the tow package. Mine were. You won't need anything stock will be fine.

The ride will be stiffer on the road but off road will be 10 times better.

And lastly before any one else Sais it. Use the search function. It is very helpful once you understand how it works.

direct swap over. the only advantage though will be if your X was a soft top and/or no tow pkg and the rubicon had a hard top and/or tow pkg. thats the case for the coils. the shocks will be a benefit regardless.

Thanks. yeah my x has the low numbers on the springs 11/12 on front and 52AA on rear. The Rubi's are 15/16 and 58 on rear.

Great they will be installed next week!
