Rubicon suspension on a JL sport

[Johnczar4]

Just got a Rubi suspension kit. Sounds like the longer LCA's are worth it. Do you have the part number?

Yes they are 100% worth it. If you dont, your sport might get "out of spec" in terms of caster.
part#:68322798AA

Theyre currently on sale on the mopar site. about $34each or so.

Thanks. Also saw people mentioning the load level spacer kit. Is that necessary

No. If you want to lift up the front, especially for extra load like steel bumper and winch, you may want a 1/2" spacer up front.

Here's my install thread on the suspension swap and a few posts down an install post on the LCAs

Hey there, I'm new to this forum and actually Jeeps as well! This has been beaten to death I'm sure but any and all input would be greatly appreciated! I have a 2019 Wrangler JL Sport 2 dr. hard top that i recently bought. Only non-stock parts are side steps and front bull bar that only weighs about 25-30lbs. I got coils and springs from a buddy off his 2019 Rubicon JL 4-dr. hard top and the spring #s are:
59/60 and 90/91. I know the larger # goes on passenger side but my question is, based on the info given, do you guys think I might need 1/2" spacers for the front?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated....Thanks!

BTW I have stock 245/75/17's right now but will be running 285/70/17's very soon.

Also all 4 corners are exact same height right now...Mahalo!

No you wont need spacers. What side steps and bull bar you have that are so light anyway?

They are both made by Tyger. Not sure of weight on side steps but I installed matching bull bar (no skid plate) and its 2 1/2" and pretty light. Cheaper than new bumper Bumpers are plastic btw. And I meant just the bull bar is 25-30 lbs. Thanks!

Did this exact swap yesterday ... 4 door Rubi suspension on a 2 door Sport. Same coil numbers that you mentioned. Turned out great.

4 door Rubicon diesel hard top springs and shocks on a Sport S. 3.5 inches of lift.

Looks great! Same color as mine. What year? Did you take measurements after? Pretty level? Did you use any spacers or just shocks/coils? Did you need alignment after? Sorry for so many questions...and thanks in advance.

Looks sweet! And 3 1/2"...wow, did you ad spacers or do anything else? You happen to know the shock part #s?

No spacers. 4 door Rubicon hard top diesel is the heaviest Jeep. I was not sure what I would get. It worked out well. Diesels are more balanced than the gas engined so the front springs are the same.

got about 1 7/8” all around. Just coils and shocks. I centered the steering wheel the best I could but yes going in for alignment.
