Hey guys quick question. I have a 2018 JLU Sport S with teraflex 1.5" level. About to get 2020 JLU Rubicon shocks and springs on the cheap. Any issues swapping shocks and springs to the Rubicons and leaving the 1.5" level? Thanks in advance!

Only real issue is your caster will be quite low, want at least the slightly longer Mopar LCAs to get caster up, and might consider an adjustable LCA to get it closer to 6 degrees.

Thanks for the info. I found the longer LCAs for about $30/each. Plan is to wait a couple months, then buy 33's and put shocks/springs/LCAs/tires on all at once, get an alignment and that'll be it.

Sounds like a solid plan, post pics after your install :)

Might as well get adjustable LCAs as long as you're replacing them - if you can afford it. Then you can dial in exactly what you want. If money is an object, or if you want to keep things looking stock with Mopar parts, you should be fine.
