What are your measurements compared to the diagram I posted? Just because there are tons of threads and misinformation doesn’t mean it’s right. There is Nowhere in Jeep literature that says the Regular Rubicon is lifted. It says it’s taller because it has taller tires, it clears bigger tires because it has high line fenders.
That was 3 yrs ago on the Sport, sorry don’t have measurement any longer. As for the XRs, we have been seeing all different measurements which is creating a ton confusion, even some belief factory installed wrong springs on some.
Ummm, these posts concur my experience, I'm not seeing any BS or snake oil, just taller springs ?
And this link confirms that this supposed Rubi front coil spring can be found on any model JLU. search them up all you want. Not a single one of these coil spring part numbers are dedicated to any Rubi.
sorry Jeff, not trying to argue just clarifying for when others read. Mopar ordering never dedicates any of those parts on their systems because those parts are universal fit. It doesn’t mean they come on those models.
Yes some are taller but also have higher spring rate. They will definitely make a lighter rig sit taller. That’s not my point. The point is Rubis are not taller in suspension off the floor. Yes they generally have heavier springs but not lift springs so does a Loaded Sahara or Sport S. The longest heaviest springs are on a 4Xe, but it sits the same height as all the rest.Things might be different now, but back in 2018- 2019 the Rubi springs and shocks were longer, and higher spring rates…. I’ve done a ton of Rubi takeoffs in sports netting 1-1.5” of lift…..things might be different now on the newer models, I haven’t done takeoff lifts on newer models….here are some old pics from forum member ……
I also have done my share of wasted time swaps and research. Last week I put together the diagram for you guys and went to the dealer again to measure for myself. Fact is they all measured within 1/2” in suspension height. didn’t matter what model it was.
More like specific engine and option combo. Those 2 end ones are diesel, hardtop, tow package.. They don’t even list the Sahar or Sport with a tow package So that really isn’t a complete list. The heavier spring rates for heavier rigs. Notice the specific Rubicons have steel bumpers the Sahara and Sport do not. It how you look at the list.Specific trims/packages get specific spring combo's.
I just measured my Sport with Rubicon springs and shocks (stock JLU Sport, V6 auto, hardtop, plastic bumpers, no winch)- the center of shock bolt to center of shock bolt measures 20.5" on the drivers side. That means on its stock springs it would have been exactly 19" since I got 1.5" change in height on the front after swapping springs. I got 2" change in height in the back. The 1.5" and 2" measurements were taken from surface of concrete to underside o fender lip aligned with center of wheel.
