392 takeoff suspension on a regular rubicon

[Cypher]

These tires are awesome!

I was able to get them for $275 each, could not pass that up.

Let's start with measurements. See photos with arrows for the measurement spots.
1. Driver front before 8 7/8”, after 11 5/8”
2. Pass front before 9”, after 11 7/8”
So 2.75” and 2.875 respectively
3. Rear driver 6 11/16 “before and 8 1/2”after
4. Rear passenger 6 5/8” before 8” after
So 1.6325” and 1.37” respectively.
5. Angle at the pumpkin front hole was 1° before and 0° after

The jeep drives the same. If it is stiffer I can't notice. I believe that these are just the mopar 2” springs they slapped on the 392 but because of weight, the 392 just gets 1” over the regular Rubicon. The spring diameter was the same when we measured it (left spring is a Clayton 2.5” lift spring, the middle spring is the 392, and the left is the Regular Rubicon spring).
At the end, this is a mopar lift for $600 and I am very pleased.

Looks great dude.....

I was always told the 3.0 was an inch higher, however that seems to be false so far based on what I have observed.

I think the diesel springs give an extra inch of lift when used on other trims due to the extra weight.

Looks really good. it does look like a mopar lifted rubi. Youre lucky. Of course itll drive fine. People exaggerate these things.

Totally agree!

Totally agree!

it still even shows a little bit of rake.

Herson, your 9” measurement is from the bumpstop pad ? That’s why it’s not 11” like cypher

Lol, the only difference is his Mopar lift didn’t give him 3-3.5 lift like most do....

I measured the front from the top spring cup border to the hole pointed by the arrow to have a more accurate reading with the tape measure, instead of going that all the way down to the axle tube.

Ok, I was wondering why you weren’t showing 11” that makes sense then, that hole looks like a couple inches difference.

This is great, although it used to be us Rubi (common, barnyard, non-392) owners that had parts other Wrangler owners wanted.

If you got that much lift and longer bumpstops, I expect larger tires would have no problem with rubbing. Was there any change in the bumpstops?

I Pickup my takeoff set tomorrow afternoon. as soon as its not like laying on the surface of the sun outside ill get it installed.

i am a little scared after looking under the eco-diesel compared to my old 3.6 JLURs, way way more low hanging critical components. loft and tires asap, then some skids for sure are in order.

No changes to bump stops. I might get the ones from the MOPAR lift kit later.

maybe the extra 1" is what let the jeep sit the same as a non diesel. I was expecting it to be an inch higher overall, but its not for sure. i am looking for my old sheet from my 2019 and my 2020 JLURs to compare. (even have numbers after Mopar lift)

may be worth checking if a set of teraflex 1" or other brand 1" bumpstop extension will work. if you dont need a full 2" of bump extension try to go for the smallest one you can. I plan to do the same. its looking like 1" may work if you a actually end up needing them.
