Lifting Moab 101 Class

[morleyz]

Hi all. 2019 JLU Moab. Was thinking about doing a 2"-ish lift, but not exactly sure which lifts will accomplish this in the Moab. I understand that the existing springs and shocks in the Moab are somewhere between the Sahara "foundation" and a Rubicon (roughly 3/4" each way). Am I correct in thinking a 2" spring lift intended for a Sahara would put me somewhere in the 1.25" range from my current stock level? It doesn't seem like any manufacturer takes the Moab into account.

All the lifts, sport sahara moab rubicon end up the same height in the end. Go with the look you are looking for. Whether thats a 1” or a 3.5” go through some peoples posts on here and figure out what look you want.

Wait, what? So, if I picked a 2.5 teraflex spring life (for example)...Are you saying if installed on a sport, Sahara and Rubicon, they all end up about the same height?

Yes correct. They base all of the lift heights off a rubicon. So the lift will give a sport or sahara or moab more out if the lift but bring it to the same height as the rubicon lifted

Otherwise they would need different springs for every model

I guess that makes sense. So using my last example of the teraflex 2.5 spring lift, any trim level with that lift should be a similar results?

Yeah the overall height will be the same. But you will probably get more height just because of it being lower to begin with. So if a rubicon is getting 2.5” off of it you will probably get 3” or so depending how far off rubicon it is stock. But end up the same. If that makes sense. The thing that will look the most different is because rubicons have taller fenders.
