Rubicon Springs on Sahara

[mheinz48]

A before and after with Rubicon shocks and springs, teraflex .5in front/rear spacers and mopar LCA's. Forgot to take before and after measurements but I am very happy with the results. Big shout out to this thread for all the info. Next step is some bfg 285/75r17 and mopar gear wheels.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W labeled as 275/70R18
But this tire in reality is actually 280/70R18 - 33.4x11 slightly larger than most 33" out there. Closer to a 34".

Is this the Teraflex 0.5" kit you all are talking about?

Yes, in hindsight I think I could have went with 1.5” kit for better future proof.

So I put on a set of Rubi take offs today and I am a bit confused now by this thread. I have a JLUS with hard top and no tow package. I installed a set from a JLUR but the part numbers don’t match what I’ve read here. Is there a chart somewhere with a complete listing of spring part numbers? I just want to verify I put the correct spring on the correct corner.

What are the part numbers for your rubi take offs?

3661, 3662, 3591, 3592

I did the higher numbers (3662/3592) on the right and the lower numbers on the left. These were supposed to come off a JLUR with hard top, tow, and steel bumpers. Just wanting to confirm what I’m thinking.

sounds right, you got the best possible spring numbers! Congrats.

If I remember, green tag springs drive, white tag springs passenger

Finally got my lower control arms today. Took about 5 weeks.

Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking? Tried mymoparparts.com a month ago and they canceled my order after 3 weeks and said they're not available anywhere.

AllMoparparts. There was a coupon code someone gave me for free shipping . I can't remember if it's in this thread or not. If you can't find it, I can hunt it down.

Well it took about 6 weeks since I decided to wait for the longer lca's, I was finally got the Rubi suspension on with the 1/2" Teraflex spacers. The steering feels just like it did before, and I never had problems with my steering. I'm glad I went with this minor lift, anything higher and I think it would need larger tires. I know people do that on the Sahara gearing, but I'm not too keen. The three photos show the jeep that day I got it (1 week short of a year), then a photo with the Rubicon takeoff wheels and tires last winter, then the Jeep today. Sadly, I promised myself I'd do before and after measurements, and I forgot. Oh well. This thread was super helpful and I've pointed others this direction.

Yep you did it right. I have the same spring part numbers.

Here's mine after...
