Installed 18/59's and the rubi shocks front and back. Based on before measurements I am got 1.5 inches of lift in the front and 1 inch in the back. I put these on a two door sport with hard top and tow package. The springs that were replaced were 14/56.

You know I find this is an interesting thread.
We all seem to gain differently on the spring install.
In my case, I have a 2012 2 door Rubicon. I pulled off 14/14 on the front, and 56/56 on the rear springs. I installed a set of 19/19 fronts, and 59/59 rears. In my case, I gained a measured 2.5" of lift on the front, and 1' on the rear.
I sure would like to know why there is such a wide margin of lift when exchanging like numbers on the springs.
Anyone have an idea why the gain differences?
In any case, after adding a LoD Midsize front bumper, a Warn 9.5 Xi winch (with steel cable), and a set of KC DayLighters, the front end still sits 1.5" higher than it did with the stock springs.
Respects,
Richard
