Nice set up. I'm running on my 2 door 18/59 springs shocks tires and wheels off of 4 dr Rubi with spidertrax spacers. Love the ride and will be adding the leveling kit later. I'm kicking myself for not doing it when I installed everything. I'm glad to hear you have no drive line issues as well. My springs we 15/55's.

You want the springs numbers to look like this
Or better yet some 19/60's for the "ultimate stock Mopar lift"!

I made the same mistake by not installing them when I did my leveling kit, I'll be putting them in during my yearly state inspection.

My triplet brother is in the 95th, Cocked Strikers out of Honolulu. So maybe that'd be 3.5 engineers on here lol?

If you are doing just one of the items in question, i.e... just the leveling kit and not the coil swap, then you should be good with the factory shocks. If you have a 2dr and are doing both the coil swap and the leveling kit, then yes you will need new shocks. 4dr Jk's should be good doing both and using the rubicon shocks.

Performs well on my 2 entrance. I'm operating the TF stabilizing kit and 18/59 rises. With the bushwacker smooth flames I obvious 35s no problem.

So no driveline problems to be reported, did any dash lights come on? I had a problem with my 07 2door with the anti-roll system kicking in when I went into a curve after installing a 2 inch lift. Is this a concern with a 2013 4door Rubi
