Found the front and rear Rubicon springs.

Can any of you Rubicon owners provide the 3 letter code for your springs? My google foo is failing me.
The GVWR of both the Rubicon and Sport with Max Tow is 6250lbs. Weight of the Sports is lighter than the Rubicon by approximately 400lbs. That is also the difference in their payload capacities.
Rubicon is equipped with heavier tires, additional armor and electronics that the Sport does not...
Rubicon comes equipped with 33s. Larger tires effect towing capacity as well. If you were to throw 33s on a Sports with Max Tow, I bet it wouldn't be rated to Tow 7650lbs.
Can we purchase Rubicon springs from Jeep/Mopar? That may be a cheaper option to lift a Sport S with Max Tow since the springs will not sag as much being thicker/beefier. Then add a 1.5" - 2" spacer lift. If not satisfied. IDK, just thinking out loud.
You can buy similarly styled wheels for $130/wheel in the color you want from quadratec.com.
I would try to find a place that will buy your wheels. Say you are able to sell your current wheels for $50 each. Buy those aftermarket wheels for $130/wheel and the price difference will be the...
You forgot the price difference is even less at or below invoice pricing when the Rubicon and Sport S w/ Max Tow are optioned similarly. Around $3,700. I hope everyone is buying their JT's below invoice.
And when equipping both trims with 35s, the difference in payload capacity is only 275lbs...
My experience is coming from the sound box (environment) of a JLU.
We have the Alpine audio system. I compared the sound signature of the Stock JLU audio system to a our Alpine Audio and difference was negligible.
You have another Forum member @WXman who also compared the sound signature of...
I just priced out a complete list of LED replacement bulbs for our Jeeps at Headlight Revolution totaling $525.
- Supernova V4 headlights and foglights
- LED Tailights
- LED fender lights
OEM LED package on a Rubicon/Overland cost $887 invoice. 5% below invoice equates to $841.
Difference of $316.

If you are going to lift and add oversized tires, you are going to have to recalibrate your speedometer anyways. The TAZER accomplishes this and more. So, really not an extra expense if you are going that route anyways.
Awesome. Based on your video and real world testing, I'm sold on the kit. Any clue on possible release date, pricing, and components of the kit? Lower control arms included?
Saw your videos on the Rubicon trail. Pretty cool. Question, after installing the 4" lift and taking it out on the trail, has there been any indication of driveshaft rub?
On the 4dr JL, the driveshaft would rub on a lift over 3" requiring an aftermarket driveshaft replacement.
I dont get it. So the curb weight of the Rubicon is 400lbs. Heavier than the Sport S with Max Tow.
Rubicon 5100lbs.
Sport S Max Tow 4700lbs.
Both trims have the same GVWR at 6250lbs. Each Sport S wheel weighs 55lbs. Rubicon wheels that are 285 in size weigh approximately 80lbs.- 85lbs. I'm...
