There's no reason why it wouldn't. They changed the engine not the suspension.

No surprises doing this on the 12. It worked just like the previous years.

With that setup, you probably won't need much of a leveling kit, if at all.

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
