Can someone please update the first or second post with all the data?

I just installed JKU Rubicon springs on my JKU sport. The stock springs were 17s on both front and 58s on both rear. The Rubi springs were 18s front and 59s rear. I gained about 7/8 of an inch on both ends with the one step firmer springs. I also installed a 1 3/4" leveling spring spacer kit at the same time that had 3/4" spacers in the rear and 1 3/4" spacers in the front. It raised the front a total of 2 7/8" and the rear a total of 1 1/2" measured at the fenders so that accounts for the front a little over 7/8s and the rear a little less.

Here are my specs . . .

2. Hardtop Only

Should I go with 16s or 17s front and 57s or 58s in the rear?

I only want to lift it 1 to 1 1/2" tops.
Planning on running 32s for the next few years.

Also, does anyone know what the dealerships are asking for rubicon shocks?



Thanks!

There's no science as to how much lift you will gain with this method.

True! 19/60 netted me a couple of inches before my bumper and winch!

And after the bumper & winch?

I was afraid you were gonna say that!

Still, thanks for the info!

Has anyone gone from a 14 / 56 combo to 17s and 58s. If so, how much lift did you gain and did you have after market bumpers / winch?

Thanks!

I did that, but added a 1" spacer in front for +2.25" F, +.75" R. That was with a lightish F bumper and an M8000, and I added JKS QD's. Here's a pic at the time:


Cut the fenders and you're ready for 35's:

I put about 180-195 lbs with bumper and winch and still have about 1 3/4 inches. Oh and I put a 3/4" leveling on her.
