rubicon suspension for my sport

[AARON85WILL]

Hi all. I'm heading to pick up a used Rubicon take off suspension to stick it on my sport for a slight lift.
Wondering what i should look out for when I go take a look? How can I tell if everything is in decent shape? Thanks for the tips.
Here is what I'm going to see. I talked him down to 150

Everything looks clean, but unless you know what the spring part numbers are, they might not give much lift. What did you find?

I put 4 door 3.6 metal bumper hardtop Rubicon springs on my dad's 4 door 3.6 hard top sport and gained right at 2in of lift

I will go check them out today. What part number should I look for? Thanks

Every part number increase is about 3/8"
So if you go from 68253657 to 68253661 you will gain about 1.5" of lift.

Try to keep the lift at each corner consistent. If your back goes up 4 part numbers make sure both front ones go up 4 part numbers. I had to find another front spring when I picked up my rubi take off suspension so that the lift would match.

The letters at the back refer to revision with AD being the latest versus a set of AA or AB. I think the later revisions were to address spring bow.

Check what you have on your Jeep now to get an idea of what youre looking for tag wise.

I just did this to my Willys. The only thing you have to swap out is the springs and shocks in your case. It didnt take very long for me to do. I would recomend ordering the Mopar LCAs also. The take offs that I got came with them and my jeep rides and drives better now that I have done the swap. I got right under a two inch lift from it.

 

[AARON85WILL]

Okay, I got the part numbers. Here they are for the springs.
My sport is riding on these:

6825 3587AA (rear)
6825 3658AC (front)

What I was looking at buying are these:

68249109AA (rear)
6825 0228AD (front)

Im a little confused about the numbers.
Will get anything out of this swap?

It almost seems like these springs are coming off a Willys rather than a Rubicon. The 109AA and 228AD springs I've seen reported as coming off a sport model according to the post here "3.0 JLUR factory spring part numbers"
If it is a Rubicon I wouldn't be surprised if its a 2020 model since a lot of those got shorter springs due to supply chain issues or its a 2 door. The springs are different for all packages so the most lift you can get would be finding springs off a 4 door, hardtop, tow package, steel bumpers rubicon.

When looking at your spring part numbers make sure to check both sides. One side is usually +1 part number to account for the offset weight of the gas tank to one side so the front/rear springs arnt always the exact same.

Your springs are also on the low end so as much as any other springs would help give a lift I personally would look around for another set like a 661/662 and 590/591 combo.
(Your set being 58 and 87 these would be a +3 or +4 in part number mentioned prior)

It took me a month of hunting on sites but they do pop up. Another option is buying each spring on used sites and then just trying to scoop the shocks by themselves.

I agree with what was said above. I went up 4 numbers on my 2dr sport and got a set from a steel bumper hardtop rubi. I gained close to 2in then added RC2.5 spacers for a total of 4.5. Running 35s with ease. I am about to do the exact same swap on my sons Sahara.

 

[AARON85WILL]

This is all great. thank you

Anyway to find a list of those part numbers. I assume they dont go up in number by one digit at a time do they?

This is a link to the thread on here with the reported spring part numbers.

It seems it was mostly user reported part numbers but I used that as a general idea of what to look for. I know some part numbers can also get messy for the springs when you throw in the diesel model.

Those part numbers are off a 2.0 2-door Sport or Willys. I removed the same P/Ns from my '18 2.0 2-door.

We got takeoffs from a JLUR with hard top and plastic bumpers for my wife's JLU Sport. On the front we went from 57/58 to 59/60s, and in the rear we went up 3 from 87/88 to 90/91. Got about 1.5" lift plus the 33's look great and it rides even better than before.
