Default Stock 4 door rubicon suspension on a 2 door?

I recently purchase a new suspension and was wondering if my rubicon 4 door suspension would benefit a two door jk at all. Would it raise its ride height or make it a stiffer ride or both? I have no idea, but if I was to guess someone might get an inch or so lift from them.

Just instaleed a 4 door Rubicon suspension (coils/shocks) on a bone stock 2 door X. Gained just short of an inch of lift and they said it rode alot better.

I got about an inch in the front and slightly better in the rear. My front springs were sagging with the bumper and winch. Cured my bouncy lift on take off and nose dive during hard braking. For the guy with a BB it is a great fix.

The four door Rubi or HD coils on an X or Sahara are what you want for the 2 door. If you have a G in the 4th digit of your Vin of a 4 door you have the heavy duty coils. The X guys with towing package should have that in their Vin. All the 4 door Rubi's have the HD coils.
