They did install all the components but they agreed with the previous posts that they are the same measurements as the Sport so they aren’t necessary in the swap.

I just did this, however, I paid a shop to do it. I was quoted 500 at several places (including the local 4x4 place). I knew that was crazy so some facebook advice led me to a place that did it in an hour for 150. He put it on the lift and did not even need to remove the tires. Anyway, handling is the same, the ride is stiffer, in fact, I say it drives more like a jeep. Mind you I came from the JLS with the Michelin ltx Ms/2 tire. I did not measure but with tires and suspension, I have about 2.5-3 inches of lift. No alignment needed. Paid 150 for shocks/springs and 150 installation. Cheaper than a lot of the take-offs listed.

Well that sounds easy enough. Can it be done with two jack stands and the jack that comes with the jeep?
I used a floor jack with Tall Jack Stands.. Would not recommend the Jeep OEM jack

What's a reasonable price for Rubicon takeoffs? And just to be certain, all I need are the springs and shocks? Not the control arms?

So adding Rubicon springs and shocks will get you a 1.5” lift? And adding a .75 spacer to that would effectively get you more than the MOPAR 2” lift? Am I understanding this correctly?
No, it will not be close to a Mopar 2” Lift. The Mopar 2” is net 2 after being fully loaded. Everyone I know that has installed the Mopar Lift got 3” of Lift including myself...

Threw on Rubicon suspension, and netted 1.5" of lift.

I purchased a JLU Rubi used suspension kit, to upgrade my JLU to go to 33". My Q to you, did u add the front bumper extenstions and the bumper pads? The purchase I made did not come w/ them so I am wondering if I need to buy them.
