- 2022 Rubicon Xtreme Recon Granite Crystal
A regular Rubicon is certainly not lifted. It has taller tires and Highline fenders. It also has exactly the same control arms, swaybar links and trackbars as the other models. See other thread for examples. I have measured all different models on the dealers lot and the most difference I have seen is 1/2” only in the front (not the rear) of a loaded Rubicon where it sat level where the Saharas and Sports more tend to have a rake. Back ends all the same.Compared to a stock sport or sport s, the rubicon is 'lifted" . A stock rubicon runs 1.5" -2" higher than it's sport conterpart. Maybe .5" of that is in it's larger tires, but the remainder is in the suspension. The shocks and springs are both longer.
Look at it another way - if I wanted to put the mopar 2" lift on a sport - raising it to approx the same height as a rubicon - the kit includes the longer LCA's. Q.E.D. the rubicon should come with the longer LCA's stock as it already has a higher base suspension.
The ONLY lifted Rubicon is the Xtreme Recon which has all the exact same control arms (already proven), 1.5” taller springs, different trackbars, extended bumpstops and swaybar links.
There is 0 information out there from Jeep that states the Rubicon has taller suspension.
FYI other then tires my XR was barely 1.5” taller in suspension than a Sahara it was sitting
beside.
FYI a Sport with a 2” Mopar Lift on 35s sits higher than my XR … FACT.
