Maybe I'm not quite understanding that... You want your X to sit as high as a rubi with 4 inches of lift, so by getting a 5 inch lift you'll be the same height, right?

The rubicon coils are a bit taller than X coils, so a rubi sits a bit higher to begin with. (following you so far) Now take the coils off both vehicles, replace with 4" coils, and the rubi is no longer an inch taller - the X and rubi are now the same height. Put 5" coils on both, and they are still the same height.

Everything else being equal, same coils = same height, right?

my vote is for teraflex they might be a bit more expensive but suspension is not something you want to cheep out on. you'll notice it every bump
