Diesel rubicon suspension on sport

[JeepinDave]

Looking for some input. I have a max tow sport on 35s. I used a aev 2 inch spacer lift to accomplish the tire clearance. Recently I added an evo 1/4 pounder and stinger along with a 12k winch. The front end is sagging a decent bit. I have acquired diesel rubicon springs and shocks off a buddy who got a new suspension. It is worth putting them on to see if I can alleviate some of the sag? What’s the ride quality going to be like?

Doesn't hurt to try since changing springs doesn't take very long. Worst comes, you just swap back to your old springs.

The diesel engine adds about 400 pounds to the front end. Adding those shocks and springs should accomplish what you desire. It may make the ride a little rougher or stiffer, depending on how much weight you have added to the front end. I would give it a try and see what happens.

I believe they taller as well right? If I use the spacers with the lift I may be too much height for the 35s

I’ve got a ‘21 Diesel HA. My front springs have the same part number as a gas Rubi. I have no idea if that is helpful to you or not……

I figured they’d be different for added weight. I thought the steel bumper group got different springs also

I think the diesel springs are supposed to be stiffer for the added weight of the diesel motor. I added diesel springs to my gasser and it felt much stiffer/better. I don't bottom out at all, and I used to on the old springs. I should also add that my truck came with the OEM steel bumper too. I don't think adding the bumper came with different springs.
