  • Lift by rubicon spring

    Please help, I have heard you can get a little bit of lift by using the rubicon stock spring, I called the parts dept at the dodge dealer and they say it is a different part # but dont know if it is longer or not, does anyone know if you can get little bit of lift by using the rubicon stock springs?? I was gonna change mine out if so... Thanks for any help :confused:

    Don't count on it. You might get a little 1/2"-1" but as soon as the springs settle, you'll be right back to where you were.

      Installed, my stock front springs were right at 12 inches, when I had 36K on my rubicon. Measure how tall your springs are, and subtract that from the 12" I had, and you will know approximately how much lift you would achieve.

      Price is soon forgotton, quality is not.

        My brother got 1 inch out of my stock springs, granted they only have 10,700 miles on them so they probably haven't settled much at all. He also mentioned that the front springs from his 02 sport had the same part # as my front rubicon springs but the rears were different.

          Thanks all, Ive got the 1.75" BB and thought maybe i could get maybe a inch with the rubicon spring, but sounds like Its probably not really worth trying,

          I guess i will wait for awhile and just go for the 4", Thanks alot..

              Not sure how much longer the fronts are compared to the rear, but the fronts are definately longer.

                  the the front rubi springs where no longer than the stock sport springs, they even shared the same part number. the rear springs where no longer just a heveier rate, i only used the rears since the spring was different when i lifted my sport, only got a extra inch in the rear the front got 2 and a half and the rear got 3 got around a inch out of the 245/75 r 16 from the rubicon. hope it helps it may be easier to use two inch spcers or a different type of lift.
