Help! Installing Rubi suspension on Sahara

[AnnDee4444]

Missed that part but wouldn’t that add to much caster? The Rubi lift is only 1.5” and the mopar lift that the LCA would be for is several inches higher

It's not too much caster. I have them on mine, and caster is now about 6°. While this may technically be "out of spec" per Jeeps specifications, it is not too extreme. The XJ actually specified up to 8°.

There are a few threads about Mopar lower control arms with OEM Rubicon height springs. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/mopar-lca-swap.22474/page-8

Glad you got it sorted out!

Just for my curiosity did you disconnect both front lower arms at the same time? That's the only way I can see the axle shifting like that.

Anytime I swap arms with a Jeep on the ground and the springs in place I do one arm at a time and use a floor Jack at the rear of the pinion(diff) the help rotate it slightly if the holes don't line up.

Yep - I figured since I was swapping out the LCAs Id just take them both off. Lesson learned.

Any photos of the result? I'm waiting on the lca's to come so I can do this.
