they are springs off a heavier hardtop 4 door , mine is a soft top two door, so it should give me an extra inch on top of my 2.5'' of lift i have now

Ahhh I see now. So I guess the spring diameters/spring perches are the same for both the Rubi and the non Rubi models?

yup
you can pretty much take anything off a rubicon and toss it on an X or sahara.
rock rails ect.....
however, unless you find a kick ass deal on some used stuff, usually aftermarket parts are the way to go....mopar is proud of their crap.

Good catch! Mine is a factory 4-dr Rubicon Hardtop, hence the slightly taller spring (16 & 17 front/59 & 60 rear)...unless someone else has an idea?? I'm open to suggestions, afterall, it is a Forum
