I am wondering if the springs and shocks from a Rubicon 4xe would be too much for a JLU Sahara with the non-etorque 3.6. I have been looking but can't find much information on them.

4xe Springs #s are 3667AD up front and 3674AA on the back.
4xe Shocks are 431AB and 435AB

Any thoughts on what the lift would be compared to the Sahara. Wonder if the rear springs would be too stiff and maybe sit too high compared to the front. Probably best for an overlander with lots of equipment in the back I'm thinking.
I will be adding skid plates and sliders that will add 300-400lbs. Maybe this will help since the 4xe is about 900lbs heavier. The weight distribution looks like it is mostly in the back.

Any thoughts?

I am getting a suspension off a Rubi 4xe today. We are installing it on my friends 2 door JL. We are going to do shock extensions, track bars and sway bar disconnects. I'm not sure how much lift I will get but I will report back when completed.

Any updates on that installation?
I'm still waiting on a pair of front control arms and front and rear track bars.

We haven't collected all the extra parts yet. I will update ASAP. LMK if anyone else completes it first. I'm estimating 3"

Youve got bump stop extensions, right?

Had some other springs that came out of a 2.0 Rubicon to compare these to. As seen in the pics the rear springs are about an 1" taller and thicker gauge of coil than the 589 spring. The front are about 2" taller but about the same gauge coil. Pics are laying on the floor and standing up. Shocks are the same length as other Rubicon red shocks.
Depending on how much lift, wouldn't longer shock or extension brackets be needed? And then bump top extensions of course.

How did this work out? I’m looking to do the same thing.
