2024 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon Suspension Questions

[rjley]

Found someone selling a whole set of the Rubicon suspension. It includes everything you need, I just had a few questions and wanted to get some opinions. I currently have a Sport S with nothing done to it, I have a fairly decent mechanical aptitude but haven't done much work with suspension systems.

1) Am I able to run the Rubicon Shocks (They're not the fox ones they're the red ones) with Sport S springs?
2) If so, is it worth the time and effort to upgrade to the Rubicon Springs?
3) Do I need to change out any of the other pieces associated with the suspension to upgrade Sport S to Rubicon suspension?

The only parts different are the springs and shocks, everything else is the same.

If they're selling the stuff, just pass it up. It is not worth the money and then the time to switch parts out. It's just like doing a lift, you have to loosen ALL the control arms (they are in a bind from factory) and do NOT tighten the control arms until the weight of the JT is back on the tires.

To make it easier, probably want to drop the track bar out on the axle end, that way it will droop more and easier.

Am I able to swap just the shocks and keep the sport springs? It is less than 100$
