Not worth the time, $ and effort for the small amount of lift hed get.

Also, Rubi stock tires are 31's and are the Sahara 32?

Again sorry but I think its a waste of time and money for the little bit of a lift he may get (hed be lucky to get a 1/2 in)

Also is he aware the Rubi tire will ride rougher, louder and wear quicker? If he muds on weekends the Rubi tire would be a step up for me but if not he is making a mistake.

The Rubicon and Sahara tires are exactly the same height and width if you convert the metric numbers into inches. Obviously with a different rim size.

Thx for all the input guys !!

BTW..we both have the duel tops..
He can put the Rubi tires and rims on without any changes to his suspension.
