A few final updates. I dropped bolt off at the vehicle shippers in Seattle this morning. I’m now driving a Ford Fusion hybrid rental car for a few days. I think I’m in hell. Push the start button and nothing. Twist the knob to put it in gear. Ugg I hate this car. Am liking the 52mpg though!
So...
Forgot to add that I installed the flash cal a few days ago. I’ve been running it without correction for awhile. Def saw a difference in tranny shifting and obviously the speedo.

VERY happy with this jl. My jk rubi...
It’s a good bit of work. You need to remove the rear panels then the latch boxes. On mine the latch boxes had to go up and to the rear quit a bit. Had to do it to all 4.
Yes your correct. The arms are the exact same between the rubi and the sport. My guess is the lower mounts on the rubi axle are slightly different to make up for the caster loss with the addition height. On mine it did get a little “darty” on rough roads. Adjustable lower control arms or drop...
Yes your correct in the height. The “rule” for driveshafts and control arms are measured off a rubicon, so by that thinking I’m only 2.5” over stock height.
My latest work. I finished the tire carrier, got the 3rd brake light wired up, mounted my plate and fancy led plate light. All that required me to punch a hole in the floor behind the plastic. But guess what? I also ran the camera cable through it and under the rear crossmember. I figured out...
Yes front and rear are off a jk. Front was a bolt on after I enlarged the frame holes in the jl slightly, the rear I had to remove the mounts and reshape/reposition them. The rear also needs the area that wraps around the rear corners reshaped as the jl is larger and more square.
