Have opportunity to purchase a new 2021 Rubicon JLUR suspension to include the mopar longer LCA's.

So to install, will i need alignment when installing the suspension?
any surprises I need to be aware of?

For full disclosure: I have already installed take off's 285/75/17 Falken Wildpeaks with Gladiator Mojave wheels.
Looking to gain 1 to 1.5 inch lift out of Rubi suspension.. is that a reality?

The guy i'm buying suspension from stated it came off a JLUR w/ Hardtop and tow package.. see attached pics.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like 58/59 and 89/90 spring rates. My Rubi was built with hardtop, tow package, and steel bumpers. My springs were 61/62 and 91/92. The higher the spring rates, the more lift you'll get.

You won't need an alignment afterwards. Toe adjustment won't change and the 1/4" longer than stock front lower control arms are non adjustable, so caster can't be fine tuned. And not changing the length of the track bar means the steering wheel won't need to be recentered with the drag link.

Also, I believe the sway bar links are the same length and contour across all trims, so those could only serve as spares.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
My spring #s were a bit higher as well, but on my 2dr I get more lift than the 4drs. With those numbers I'd expect lift in the 1.25 in range give or take. Will work well with your new wheel/tire set but might want to add a .75 to 1" spacer set all around if you decide to go up to a 34-35" tire down the road.

Did it to our 2018, got about an inch and a half. I'd do it again.

Did you find a matching spare for the Gladiator wheels? The drawback seems that they usually only sell the four since the spare is on a steel wheel.
