Rubi suspension to X swap???
I picked up a set of springs, shocks, links and track bars off on 08 rubi and I am swapping them onto my 07 X BUT, it just popped in my head will the front track bar work? Since the Rubi has the D44 up front and I have the measly D30 is it going to mount right? I know the rest will work but I was wondering about that T barinski. Any insight?

No they aren't but The person I bought the rest from just included them in the deal. I didn't know if they would be different or not. But I would think it may be because if the springs give even an inch of height and you had a short TB it would bring the axle to the drivers side wouldn't it?

Theoretically, yes. But I believe they have so many different spring rates to accommodate different stock configurations, like 2dr, 4dr. soft top, hard top, tow package, auto, manual, rubi t-case, etc., in an effort to make every Jeep that rolls off the line have exactly the same height.
