Your rear springs are great, you'll just need to swap the fronts if the numbers are higher.

What was your initial spring rate, and did you just swap stock rubi springs in there?

Thanks

My initial springs were 14/55. I also just did a straight swap. Dropped my old ones out, and stuck the new Rubi ones in their place. Same with the shocks.

It took me an afternoon to do. I left it 48" wide and cut it about 72" long. I put about 14 grommets in it. The best deal I believe in this is that I can take out the front 3 ball bungees and put my soft top up.

I'll post up the thread write up in a min.
have you done a write up for this idea?

Basically I laid out the mesh, took a piece of tape about 1"x1" at each spot I planned to place a grommet. I measured from the edges, and made the spots. Once I had the main spots planned out, I tapped in the grommets.

I put the top up and used the ball bungees to strap down nicely, then planned out for the rest of my spots to keep flapping to a minimum.

In the 100'+ heat this Texas summer it blocked the sun, still allowed light and held up to rain for months so far. Extremely sturdy as well. My 70lb dog hopped up there several times on my roof.
Can you please explain the cut cupholder mod and the dash gap mod? along with all of the home mods?

My new Rubicon Unlimited came with 18/59. It's my understanding it depends on the accessories you jeep came with as to what springs you get. Higest rated springs come on Rubicons with Dual Top, Max Tow and Auto Transmission.
