Rubicon vs sport suspension height?

[jmcdtucson]

On the topic of ride/steering, I installed the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 steering stabilizer and really like it, especially in wind - it doesn't seem to blow around as easily as it used to.

Well not doing to much research before doing this upgrade I drove out about 3.5 hours away and picked up rubicon suspension with 200 miles on it. Didn’t know it until I got there that it came off of a new diesel so I bought it anyways and put it on my sport s. The front now sits an inch higher than the rear.

No worries! Do you have any plans for a heavy metal front bumper/winch combination. That will probably level it out. If not you can always add rear leveling spacers

I’m probably gonna look for a 1” or 1.5” spacer for the rear still have to add the bigger spare tire on. I’m at work but I’ll try to get the parts numbers of the front and rear springs when I get home

Okay, more research results to confirm the rubicon springs are different and taller:

Sport spring part numbers:
Rear Passenger 68253589AA
Rear Driver 68253588AA
Front Driver 68253657AB
Front Passenger 68253658AB

Rubicon spring part numbers:
Rear Passenger 68253591AA
Rear Driver 68253590AA
Front Driver 68253659AB
Front Passenger 68253660AB


What I haven’t found yet are any specs on each springs capacities.

Ok so the springs I have on the front of my Jeep came off of a brand new diesel and the part number on each side is the same. It is 68253668AD

OK just an update if anybody ever wants to see a Jl sport base model with the 6MT and only REAR 90/91 Rubicon springs installed here is what that looks like.
after I set up my forklift and got it in the air it took about 45 minutes.
now for the harder part the front end.
see you in a couple hours.

Here’s my Rubicon, the front side. Hope this helps.

still learning about all the suspension stuff, but based on these pictures, would it be safe to say that the springs are 60/62 rather than 60/61?. again, if these classifications aren't based on the actual part numbers, I'll probably need some more "schooling" from the experts

Front end is underway.
wish me luck.

Wow! Your "jack stand" option is quite a bit different than most of us!

how much lift did you get? What were your spring #’s. I’m sitting on a 3.0 suspension i plan on eventually installing .

Done!

I really like your jack.

Looks Great. I assume the Fully Monty Rubicon treatment including shocks? How much lift did you get?

Thanks, I think so too.
I’m going to go home get cleaned up park it back in the exact spot I had it in the garage and remeasure everything. I figure if there’s any settling to do, it I’ll probably do it by the time I get home although it’s used suspension from 4 door so I doubt there’s gonna be any settling at all.
So stay tuned for those measurements.
