Hey Everyone! Fairly new to the Wrangler community. I currently have 2020 JLU Sport. I am looking to make it look more like a rubicon as far as the lift and tires. Am I correct in thinking a 2 inch lift and 33s are all that will accomplish this?

Buy Rubicon take off suspension, tires and fenders and then you're set! You should be able to find that stuff for sale locally pretty easily.

Rock rails. Hood. Red hooks. Red shocks. Fenders

You don’t need Rubicon fenders and suspension to run 33s. I just put a set on my sport s. I did end up taking off the front fender extension due to a little rubbing. Those extensions suck and needed to go anyways. Truck looks awesome. I went with -12 off set.

100% this. You could get the suspension and wheels/tires for under $1.5k total if you keep a close eye on FB Marketplace and move quickly when one pops.

Good idea. I found suspension already for $400. Thanks!

I'm running Rubi wheels with 33's and it fit fine at stock height. I added a 3/4" spacer lift just to compensate for the steel bumpers and rock rails.

All you need for the suspension is shocks and springs, unsure if thats the price for just those components. I paid 100 for mine.
Wow really? This was from a website. Guess I need to look more.

You will always find someone else on the forums who claims to have paid less.

If you want takeoff parts, find a good set at a price you find reasonable, at a location that works, and get them. Screw what someone else says they paid.

Good luck.

you can find this more than likely for 200 or less! ive even seen it in the free section on this forum!. keep the cost low. I went this route and then a year later put a 2.5" lift on from JKS. note all lift kits are 2" taller than the rubicon height. the sport is about 1.5" shorter than the rubicons. I did find the rubicon suspension did ride better than the sport suspension.

Perfect. I will keep an eye out then.

Where in PA? I have a 2019 Rubi take off suspension and wheel and KO2's with about 8,000 kms on them. It just so happens mine is the same colour as yours ... LOL
