[JLBuyer]

no lca change at all and driving manners feel stock

new shoes this weekend 35s are my target but im liking the 37 bfg ko2 since they will ping out at 35

fenders were not very difficult but if your buying take offs beware those little white clips...flimsy and very pricey from a dealership and you need roughly 10 per fender so plan ahead also harbor freight has a plastic rivet gun for the liner for about 15 bucks (rivets are 2 bucks each) no need to remove it if its attached but it does make mounting the fenders correctly much easier but not necessary.
Wiring and all total time removal and install max an hour, I really wanted to paint them but seeing how they get dinged with small stones i really wouldnt unless you have a payment princess

Pics i will have up but the tire shop had a delay so it looks like next week for those

Here's a link to those fender clips, not too bad price wise but factor in shipping and it might get stupid

How much is the going rate on used clean fender set?

On another note.. Total of 197 pounds In batteries drops the front exactly 1 inch.
Don’t know how much the bumper, winch, fairlead, lights and shackles are going to come out to weight wise but here is some great useless information for somebody.

Just the opposite of useless, quite useful info I think

Here's mine - 59/60 front and 91/92 rear. Keep in mind I have 120+ lbs of audio in the trunk, so this combo without the weight would probably not work without serious rake... And I did the Fox shocks.

AFTER

BEFORE

It handles soooooo much better. It's firmer, but still smoother over rough patches. It doesn't lean nearly as much in turns and doesn't move much on braking and acceleration...

After a few days of settling the ground to underside of fender dimensions are:

38 5/8" front

38 3/8" rear

Visually it looks level imo, which is what I was after... It sits perfect for my taste.

Hey all I'm looking to get some rubi take offs for my jeep, am I correct in saying that 61/62 and 91/92 spring part numbers are from jeeps that had factory steel bumper group?

I'm looking for those part numbers, and shocks, and then going to add 3/4" spacers on all 4 corners, looking for 1.5in-2in total to clear 35s.

Yes, those are the tallest springs (from the heaviest JLURs) w/ the exception of the diesels which have the tallest/stiffest springs.

Is there any difference between a 3.6 rubi vs the 2.0 springs?
I’m looking locally for a set of springs from a 3.6 hard top rubi.

Part numbers on the listing look like 60/61 and 90/91

Might be one # higher on one or two of the springs, TBH it won't make much of a difference in the overall lift. FWIW I'm running a 59/61 90/91 combo on my 2dr and the lift I've seen is "visually" the same as other 2drs with the 60/61 90/91 sets.

I think you'll be happy w/ that 60/61 and 90/91, especailly if it's priced right and nearby for an easy pickup

If anything i’ll throw a set of spacer no biggy. I’m excited to get some clearance though, next is either rubi flares or rugged ridge flares when i throw the 35s.

Make sure to post pictures.

Just picked it all up, I remember reading this thread that the higher part number is the passenger side is this correct for all springs? I see the shocks are labeled.

so my springs:
60=LF
61=RF
90=LR
91=RR

Make sure to post pictures.

For sure, I’m gonna get before and after a when i go install. I’m waiting on metal cloak durospring bumpstops and the Mopar LCAs so i can do it all in one day.
