Understood. I thought these were the Mopar aftermarket 2" lifts. Thanks for the clarification. And I do not believe the Rubicon suspension gives any lift over any other trim levels. I could be wrong on that as it's just what I remember reading on this site.
Rubicon 1" over Overland - not a lift is it? thought it was taller springs. Dealer told me they sat 1" higher and that's exactly what I found when I measured every JT on their lot.

This may be what I want.......... I have a friend who lives by Fort Wayne - wonder how far away he is. I have to make a trip to him to deliver an engine anyway. eh, looked it up, too far to ask my friend to go get the stuff for me and keep at his place.
It would be a way to get a little more rugged suspension and a bit more off the ground.

Do you still have the wheels and which Falken tires - the M/T or the A/T?

The springs strength and the height of the 33’s make the difference. Stock Rubicon sway bar links, lower control arms shock length and spring length are exactly the same on a Sport S. Actually all the same part numbers on the links and lower control arms. The 2-1/2” Mopar lift has longer sway bar links and longer lower control arms. Control arms to get the caster back in spec after lifting it 2 1/2”. I put all the Rubicon take off take off parts on my Sport S and got 1/2” in the body lift.
Any one looking for stock Sport S parts w/300 miles on them let me know. I doubt if there will be any interest since there are so many out there now. The rear springs will give a stock Rubicon max payload!!

The difference between the Rubicon 33" tires and the Overland 32" is actually not quite an inch. That gives you 1/2" height difference.
But that's not how I measure when I measure the differences in height - I measure between axle and frame or when I do cars like the Eagles after lifting or swapping springs, from center of hub to fender or some body part that is the same on the two vehicles I compare. So the way I measure the tires can be inches different and it won't impact what I look at.
Sport max tow springs won't give a Rubicon the same payload as the sport because of the difference in vehicle weights. That's been hashed out and about for months. If a Rubicon has 100 pounds more of options and other fun stuff, then you have to take that 100 pounds away from the payload the Sport had.
You will get some - but it won't be up to Sport with max tow level because of vehicle weight differences. That's why each vehicle you buy has a sticker on the door jamb that tells the payload for THAT specific vehicle. Options take away from payload. The rubicon is a lot heavier than a sport so can't have the same payload as a sport.

Thanks for pointing out the error in my calculations. I didn’t realize a Rubicon was 400 pounds heavier

Yes i have the stock wheels and tires
Rubicon could have either the Falken A/T or the Falken M/T tire - one is all terrain, the other more of a mud terrain tire. One rated well for snow, the other not so much for snow but great for mud.
Wondering which of the Rubicon tires they are - since it could be A/T or M/T. Will say clearly on the side of the tire.
