I am very happy with it. It did raise me almost 2 inches. I installed it, drove around for about an hour then measured. I think it rides better, smoother. For the money I don't think you can go wrong so long as you don't plan on a lift later. If you do then just wait and put the money towards that, but I don't plan on it.

2 minutes in the garage last night fixed that noise BTW.

That is also when I added my MOPAR steel bumper so It might have been more. For reference mine came off a Diesel.
I just acquired a eco diesel rubicon suspension and there’s is only one spring that is numbered, a rear one. We’re your spring numbered? The original owner said that’s how they came, that the eco’s are balanced equal side-to-side weight balance there is no right or left spring. Were your diesel springs numbered? Thanks

My fronts were not, the rears were numbered. I hadn’t heard that, but the guy I got it from marked the sides himself as he took them off. Maybe that’s how they come.

The Rubicon eco diesel springs were shorter. Kinda messes with ya. Willys Spring on the left. Gained 1.75 front 3/4 rear. Those measurements included front Terra Flex 1.5 level before and after.

How’s it going bamajeep. I just got my front springs off and they’re the same height as these “eco rubi springs “. Were yours the same size? I thought they’d be a little taller. Thanks

They were not much taller, but they did have more coils than the sport ones, and much thicker.

these are the ones I got.
I count 8 coils on yours and every other pics I can find. I don’t know what to think lol. Guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I finish up. Appreciate your input. I’m just south of you here in Millbrook, have you done the 600-1 trail in talladega national forest? I think there’s a 600-2 too. I all I know is dirt roads around here. If you ever wanna do some wheeling , holla at me.

Not gonna lie, this is my first off-road capable vehicle and I’m yet to take it out. I definitely want to though. I was looking at 600-1 but hadn’t went yet. We will definitely have to go wheeling sometime.
