New to the forum. I’ve been looking on here and have found tons of info on the sport/sport s to Rubi suspension swaps. I’ve got a 2.5 RC leveling kit and 3/4 daystar rear in the garage ready to go. I very seldom go off-roading besides for hunting trips or casual stuff so didn’t need anything crazy. Just wanted to fit 35s and sit higher while maintaining a more quality ride. My question is can I do the Rubi suspension swap + the leveling kit on my sport S without adding anything else or having issues? I also have the Mopar lift LCAs, and MC front adjustable track bar to add to it. I’ve read to expect 3/4-1-1/4 from the Rubi swap as well. I believe my stock sport s shocks are going out, I’m at about 33k miles and found some takeoffs for $200 for everything. Thanks for the help!

You may need extended sway bar end links if they didn't come with the RC kit. But a rubi swap should button right up no issue. even with a spacer kit. 2.5 does seem a bit excessive with the rubi swap tho. a daystar 3/4 front may be a better pair. As far as 35s. They fit any JL/JT regardless of lift or no lift as far as i can tell. I have a Mojave which comes with highline fenders and i fit 37s with no lift just fine.

That makes sense. It did come with the sway bar extensions. I guess I was just curious if it would be worth it or hurt to put the Rubi coils on the front and rear as well. The 2.5 front level plus the 3/4 rear level should result in a near perfect level from what I’ve read and seen. So if I added the coils to front and rear as well I’d be roughly around +3.5ish front and +1 3/4in rear which would still be level with the combo if I’m thinking about this correctly lol man 37s stock is sweet, those Mojave’s are so nice. I’ve always loved to have a slight lift on all my vehicles

35's on a Rubicon are the edge, sometimes they fit, sometimes they don't
On mine, they rub LCA at full lock and used to rub my inner fender liners, two 1/4" holes and some loose zip ties fixed that.
They do not rub at full articulation, sway bar disconnected - unless at full steering lock, then still rub LCA.

I fit 35s on my sport with swapped Rubi suspension and a 3/4" spacer on the front. No issues with rubbing.
