A little update to the thread. Went on with the Rubi suspension 2 weeks ago and have no complaints. Could benefit a lot by adding aftermarket front sway bar disconnects! Gained right at 2 inches front and rear after springs settled. Biggest difference I’ve noticed is how much better the shocks are at both lower speeds and highway speeds.

Just stepped back into the Jeep world after 10 long years! Planning a mild overland/daily driver build. Here are a few pictures before and after adding the Rubi wheels, tires, and rock rails. I’m loving everything about the JL and lookin forward to throwing on the Rubi suspension on in the near future.

Looks great! Some white wall letters tires would set it Off!

Did you just change shocks and springs or end links and control arms as well?

Nice! How complicated/expensive is the replacement work?
Not complicated at all but I've lifted a lot of jeeps. Was a master tech for CDJR and I sell for them now. you should be able to find Rubi takeoff suspension for $200-$300.

Shocks, Springs, and endlinks. Control arms were the same part number.

It only took me about 45 minutes with the jeep on a lift. Will cost you somewhere around $200-$300 bucks in parts.
