4 door Rubicon hard top diesel suspension in a 2 door sport

[JHTS]

A few months ago I bought from @kosinar a 4 door hardtop diesel Rubicon tires and suspension. Today @chevymitchell installed the lift. Here are the before and after. Over 3 inches of lift. It drives and handles much better.

Looking real good!
Did you add the longer Mopar lift LCAs (or adjustable LCAs) ?
If not, that should be on your to-do list

Yes, they went on with the lift. Too many post on here to omit them. lol

Please post the spring numbers. That would be a big help.

Did you use your original shocks?

Springs front 3668AD
Rear 3602AA

shocks front 68273119AD
Rear 68272561AD

shocks were from the Rubicon you need the longer ones.

That is a bit unusual. On the gas Rubicons, the right and left springs have different numbers since one side of the Jeep is heavier than the other.

Are you sure both sides use the same spring numbers? I am curious why this would be so on the diesel.

Yes the gas engines have different springs the diesel are more balanced but on a 2 door sport like mine it works. Not sure if a 4 door would lean low to the passenger side.

How do your driveshafts look after this? Did you have to upgrade?

No upgrade yet. I was not expecting 3.5 inches of lift.

Thanks for the pics! All in all doesn’t look too bad

Interesting... this should be about 1.5" of lift on a JLR.

but it's not a rubicon: & the only reason I know this is it has the same flares that I just removed from my daughter's sport

Looks great! How are you liking this upgrade? I just bought the same for mine, just waiting on the lca's to come in before I install it.

Just finished mine as well, best I can tell I gained about 3" also. Can't tell a difference in ride quality from factory springs.
