Im confused now, the Rubi has the fox shocks. The "mopar lift" also has the fox shocks, so does the rubi have the mopar lift from factory? Or just the shocks without being any higher from other trims?
The Rubicon's Fox shocks have a 2.5" diameter tube ... not to be confused with any added lift. The ground clearance of a stock Sport & Overland is 10" while a stock Rubicon is 11". That difference is only caused by the larger tires on the Rubicon.

This Fox lift kit has longer shocks & springs than what comes on a stock Rubicon and will give basically equal gains to all trim levels.

This is what I was trying to say! The Rubicon can accept larger tires without modification because of the high clearance fender flares that are standard on the Rubicon.

Just for reference my dealer also has a few in stock and quoted me at $2100 installed.. $600 for install at a dealer surprisingly seems pretty reasonable to me being that it all should be covered under warranty then, or so I'm assuming.
2-3 hours in your driveway is much for fun though!

So a max tow sport S With 35" tires, with rubicon fenders and 2" mopar lift will be equally beefy to the Rubicon with 2" lift and 35" tires? , except for a different transfer case?

Does the rubicon have beefier sway bars, or other suspension components?

For visual, this is a 2.5” lift on 37’s:

Will 37's work on the 2in Mopar lift? Are you going to be able to re-gear it right now or will you have to wait?

I can’t wait to see this truck with the lift and 37’s
I ordered the triple white!

Hopefully it’ll have the stock wheels.
No it will have different wheels. Pics by end of the day.

I have similar questions with what parts will be replaced in the lift kit and what else do I need to install like extended brake lines, steering stabilizers, tie rods, control arms, etc? Or are all those mods not necessary with this lift kit since it is only 2"...
I posted pics of everything that comes in lift. Check it out.

Darn! I wasn’t going to buy wheels right away.

I was also hoping to see if the lift and 37”s would have any rubbing issues at full lock and full compression on the stock wheels
