Added 10A rubicon JKU springs and shocks this weekend. We forgot to measure the clearance before hand so I went to the dealer today to compare my new stock 10A suspension on my 2 door JK with 33" km2 tires. I compared mine to a new rubicon with stock 32" KM tires and tow package. The pictures tell it all... My jeep now stands about 3" taller than the rubi, but remember my tires add 1/2" more than the rubi's 32's

It seems dead level now. I also left the stock puck in the rear over the springs. I wanted to keep a bit of a rack, but like I said it seems perfectly level. I'd say 3" in front and at least 2 1/2" in the back. I can really tell the difference in the ride. My old 14/54 springs w/ shocks were hard and seemed unstable while taking turns on the highway. On my drive to work, I used to approach this one bend rather cautiously, the last two days I've driven it seems much better.

No I left everything in place, I wanted everything as close to factory as possible and still run 35". I thought that was the case, the dude that helped me usually removes them. He's done about 4 other people's jeeps. I better let him know that. Thanks for the heads up.
