The LCA from the takeoffs should be the same, they've been the same for all other models, but maybe the diesel has different ones, you'd have to check the part # on those. If they are the same I would definitely get the longer Mopar LCAs, best $70 you'll ever spend :)

That 1" of space is noticeable from those pics, but once he gets his new tires on that extra space might not be too noticeable IMO.
Thanks. Do you have pet numbers for the Mopar LCAs? I’m not exactly sure which part numbers they are.

When I ordered mine I just told the guy that I bought a Mopar lift from a buddy but he was keeping his LCAs so I needed the new ones. Some dealers put up a fight if the part doesn't jive w/ your VIN#.

Installed 305 65r17 K02s on Rubicon Hard Rock wheels today! Im still loving the lift, I drove about 6 hours with it on to Mississippi and it did great.
I'm making adjustments to my spare now. I had to shave down those vibration bumpers and im trimming the backup cam cover also. Altogether with tire and rim its about 80-85lbs. Should I reinforce the tailgate?

Looking nice!
Your tailgate mount will be fine w/ that set, no need to do anything but enjoy your "new" jeep!

Looks like the new tire/wheel set masked that extra lift in front, the lift actually looks pretty even now :)

Well, finally got the takeoffs installed. I did gain about 2.5-3” also. We kept the 1” spacers one the rear and removed the 1” spacers on the front to make up for the rake that it had with the new suspension. Really happy with the difference. Pics of before and after.

I just picked up takeoffs from a 3.0 with hardtop, tow, and steel bumpers.

You should get quite a large lift from that. I highly recommend getting the Mopar LCAs because depending on what model you have, your lift could range anywhere from 2.5" to 3.5". I got about 3 inches out of mine

Looks great! And noticable side to side height differences with the new suspension??

I just did this swap today, front only so far. I went to these because of adding a winch. Got the sagging nose.

My JLUR on the scale 5100 lbs. Stock 3660AC / 3661AC springs with 2.5 spacer.
Fender height pre winch
Driver - 44 1/4
Pass - 43 3/4
After winch
Driver - 43 1/4
Pass - 43 1/2

JLUR 3.0 3667AC springs Removed 1/2 spacer, now at 2" spacer same winch set up.
Driver - 44 1/4
Pass - 44 1/2

Free spring height
3660AC - 18 1/4
3661 AC - 18 3/4
3667AC - 19 1/4

I would say these springs will add a full 1 inch lift over the 3.6 springs. The lift will be greater if you have aftermarket bumper and winch. In other words the stock gas springs are too soft for winch.

I'll get to the rear springs soon. Just wanted to fix the front end sagging problem.

So since these numbers are different then what I was looking for, would this give my Willys a small bump also? I have a 2 dr and was looking for the 90/91s but a local guy has the same setup for a good price? I was going to get on a wait list for rubitrux but local and cheaper is for me if they will work. Same numbers as picture above. Thanks

Doesn't the Willys already have the rubicon suspension?

I was reading I have the shocks but not the springs from a rubicon. Still searching for answers.

With the spacers in the rear, you’re sitting level now? Did you swap all four springs with diesel springs?

Might be on my radar to buy diesel springs now once i decide which shocks to pair it with.

Hey everybody,
I have a 2dr sport JL stock as can be. I just bought a JLUR Ecodiesel suspension. It had a hardtop but not the steel bumpers.
I have done as much research as I can in these forums but there just isn't a ton of data on the Ecodiesel suspension in here (atleast from my digging)

Everything i have read leads me to believe the coils should have separate part numbers for front and rear, driver and passenger. Mine don't.
Front part numbers are 3667AD and I measured them at 19" a piece
Rear part numbers are 3601AA and I measured at 14 5/8"
The only difference between them is Load ID and one of each spring has a green tag

From what I have read this opens up many questions. This is my first time dealing with a suspension swap. I do work in the automotive industry but all my knowledge is in electrical harnesses and the interior of a vehicle.

I'm a little lost when it comes to this but any thoughts or tips on installation would be a massive help. I also have ordered the mopar lcas because I assume this will be on the larger side of the Rubi lift heights.

Hi, I am new to jeep. Got myself Sahara JLU Diesel 2020 and thought to swap suspension to lift a little. But reading online that it might not work if I simply take parts from gasoline rubicon. Since you did yours can you advise? Are there difference between gasoline and diesel shojs and coils? Also there was talk about LCA, would I need it? Thanks a lot in advance.
