I figured I'd take everything he was offering.My question is:are any of the extra parts,aside from the springs and shocks,upgrades from what came on my X model?
Here is the Jeep they came off.Very impressive.He had the body wrapped in flat olive drab.
Check out his license plate.One of the better ones I`ve seen:

Huh. That is EXACTLY what we did- actually by accident in the rear. My mechanic thought the rear pucks from the TF Leveling kit were stock, so left them in, and took out the front pucks. We decided to put one inch of pucks up front, and have a very geometric stance. We are going to remove the remaining pucks up front and install the JKS ACOS next week. It's becoming a JKS Wrangler

Just make sure on the last four digits. I have 18/59's on with ruby shocks. Will add 1" spacers all around from TF leveling kit like Mike's. Was going to add both In front but worried I'd have the look of the Carolina Squat! Might have two 1" spacers for sale though.

So I picked up my Rubi suspension today.Here`s a picture of what I got.The guy at 4WD Parts said I would`nt need brake line extension brackets.

My fiancees JK was ordered from the factory with Rubi shocks, rims/tires, but had the lowest coils as it was a 2dr sport base model. So they can be order any which way. I bought a takeoff set of Rubi parts and forget to check coil numbers and the Rubi had the same stuff as us, so it was a waste of time and money. Lesson learned to never forget the little details

Nice to have a spare crossmember and control arms and rear trackbar,mine are scratched and bent, I have spares too. You won't need brakes lines until you get longer shocks. Basically install springs, pucks and shocks, tighten it up once everything is in while sitting level with all tires on the ground. Might as well get the grade 8 bolt kit too also get front disconnects and put front sway links, longer on rear swaybar...you shouldn't need an alignment or adjustable trackbars...

Thanks for all the info guys.I bought a Daystar 3/4" front spacer to level it out.I'll take picks of the before and after and the install.Hopefully next week.We don`t do anything too radical off road.Mostly just the moderate trails.Looking forward to the Rubi ride characteristics.

only if they are longer springs. when it comes to springs there are no quarantees, you have to check the numbers. My jku came with 17/58 springs and my buddies MW3 with tow came with 15's in the front. it is a crap shoot. Easy to check tho just look at the tags on the springs.
