Rubicon Unlimited Springs and Shocks on 2 Dr
I finally installed the Rubicon Unlimited Springs and Shocks on my 2 dr X. I am sure it depends on what springs you currently have (determined by what options you have) you definately get a lift from installing the Unlimited Springs on the 2 Dr. My rear came up 1.5 inches and the front 1 inch or so.
The ride is a bit stiffer. All in all it is an inexpensive improvement.

I installed the LWB Rubicon springs months ago. Big difference and no problems so far. When I put the fronts up beside my stock ones there was close to 2 inches height difference.
I didnt put in the shocks though I got the shocks with my RC 2.5 lift.

pictures will be coming as soon as I get the front springs in. It has been raining non-stop here this week, which will be good for this weekend at shiloh ridge, but bad for motivating me to do another spring swap in the driveway...
As measured by my yard stick, the rear of the vehicle now sits a little under an inch taller than stock, which is great for the price that I got these springs for, (thanks juliet kilo!) Especially since the original plan was just to use these to compensate for the extra weight of the metal bumpers and a winch to come, but now I have been bit by the bb bug and plan on doing the teraflex kit in conjunction with these unlimited springs.

Don't rush the measurements...until the front and rear are in, you can't really see what the final altitude difference is....as the high side transfers more weight to the low side, which then means LESS weight on the high side, etc...so, until BOTH are in, its just rarely where the one end would be alone, etc.
(Give him some time)
Rule of thumb...if the coils were meant to support an additional 300 lb for example, just put a scale on a jack, and crank it up until the jack is pushing up with 300 lb of force...and, at that point, you'd be roughly where the coil would put you, as they were meant to support another 300 lb, etc.
