Rubicon ride height?

[clembo]

I have a 2021 Sport S (80th), I am considering buying a 2026 Rubicon. When I build the Rubi online the height of the fenders over the tires seems higher. Do all Rubis sit higer for better ground clearance even if I dont get the 35" wheels? Or is that just how it looks and they have the same ride height.

Sorry if this sounds like a basic question but thanks in advance for any help.

All the Rubicons get the higher clearance fenders.

The Rubicon fenders do sit higher on the body than they sit on a sport.

High line fenders and about 1” higher suspension

Rubicons do sit a little taller and have more suspension travel than Sport models, even with the same tire size. The Rubicon suspension, longer arms, and geometry give it a bit more height and better off road clearance.
So it’s not just how it looks a Rubi will generally ride a bit higher and feel more capable offroad than a Sport S with the same wheels/tires.
