Ecodiesel Rubicon suspension swap

[MIke Honcho]

I found them on eBay. I think I paid $100 for the 4 springs and $200 for the shocks.

Where can I get a set of these springs if I can't find takeoffs?

I have these shocks and springs that I just bought from a 2021 JLUR diesel owner (See photos). I'm using the shocks but I'm not going to use the springs. For my Sahara, I have ordered these Rubicon springs…

68253661AC (now updated to 68253661AD)
68253662AC (now updated to 68253662AD)
68253591AA
68253592AA

So I’ll probably let these JLURD springs go if anyone wants them.

Got my Rubi Diesel springs installed today. I’m super happy with the outcome.

Second pic shows the progression.
Stock -> 34s -> 34s plus Rubi springs

so i just need the springs, shocks, and mopar lcas? I have the sway bar end links. Did you do alignment after the jeep? I like the way the jeep looks on the last pic.

If you find a set that includes the end links that's a plus since they are a wear item, and can get snapped when put in a tough spot. No alignment is needed since it doesn't involve steering components, if for some reason your steering wheel is off center you can easily adjust it if & when (youtube has some clips on that).

You are the best for people that are seeking information

Dunno about that, but thanks for the kind words, I try to help when I can, but have gotten much more help than I've given around here

Your steering wheel WILL be off center and if its too far off the stability control will be a little wonky

I just finished doing the swap on my 2019 Sahara 2.0T.

Original fronts:
3659AC 3660AC

New fronts:
3668AD (both)

Original rears:
3588AA 3589AA

New rears: 3601AA (both)

Caster before: 90.8°
Caster after: 91.8°

(I didn’t change the LCAs)

I gained 2.08 inches on front height and 1.25 inches on rear height. This worked out perfect since I was 0.75 inches higher on rears before and this balanced it out. It’s sitting level now. (Also threw on the Gladiator Fox shocks for giggles.) The ride is sooo much better. It’s hard to explain…before it was kinda jarring going over bumps but now it’s a lot smoother. These are the “after” pics. I didn’t take befores.

What shocks are those? Gladiator shocks?

 

[MIke Honcho]

Yes, OEM Gladiator Rubicon shocks.

About to do this suspension swap myself. I have a JLU Sahara and eco diesel springs, shocks and control arm take offs.

Will the eco diesel takeoff control arm suffice? Or is their a longer mopar one I should get?

AFAIK all stock control arms are the same, check you part #s on the diesel ones, I'd bet they are the same as your Saharas.

Thanks for the info. Does anyone have a link to the longer control arms recommended for this upgrade?
