Sport Mod Question

[lalalofsky]

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.

I was thinking that they might be getting more than the springs and shocks at that price. I was hoping to clarify that springs and shocks was all that was needed. And hopefully with that information they would be able to save some cAsh

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

I’m in the Harrisburg area but willing to travel.

How much lift would i expect if going from stock sport s (hardtop, plastic bumpers ,no tow package) to rubicon springs 90/91 and 60/61 ( hardtop with tow package) already added the stock 285’s

Not all Rubicon suspensions will give you a significant lift. Make sure to look at the model numbers. Take a look at this thread. You will see which ones give the best lift.

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.

Please post pictures. I love to see non-Rubicons with -12 offset.

Here you go. Sorry David, I know probably not what you are looking for. I have Rubi flares on my Sport S ?

 

[Jamrock]

Cool... The Rubicon flares will help mitigate the rubbing since they are higher than the Sport fenders.

Do you have a picture from the front? Is this the stock Sport suspension?

My investment:
+$1200 for 5 Rubi wheel / tire takeoffs with 50 miles on them
-$600 sold my sport wheels/tires
+$200 for rubi socks/springs (a couple/few thousand miles on them)
+$450 install at 4WP ... I could have saved money at my local mechanic/shop (now I know)
+$150 for Rubi front plastic bumper with LED fogs
+ $300 (I think) for JL Taser (LEDs and bigger tires)
+$400’ish for ROAM side steps ... Rubi sliders should be $100-200?

Not stock. This is mopar 2” lift which netted almost 4”. Couple pics of poke with -12 offset/ 4.53 backspacing with 37x12.50s.

I'm doing the same thing, but still working on finding a set of white fenders. I know JT Rubicon fenders work as long as they're the front ones only as the rear ones dont. But does anyone know if Mojave fenders give the same clearance as the Rubicon ones? Found a set online but not sure if they're the same.

2018 JLU with Fuel Beast 17s with -12 off set 33 BFG K02s and no lift. I had the slightest rub on the fender/bumper extensions at one specific point of a turn, supper minor. Those things had to go anyways and took five minutes to remove. Truck looks awesome with the wheels, exactly what I was going for.

Do you plan to regear? Does the Jeep feel sluggish with the 37's?

Not regearing. To me it feels fine, however never see 8th and rarely see 7th on the highway. This is mostly a road warrior.
