Maybe a dumb question but will ask anyway. So I have a 2021 Willy's sport. I currently have shocks and springs from a Rubicon and 1.5" spacer up front and 3/4 spacer in the rear. Ready to go up higher and I notice some lifts have options for Rubicon and non Rubicon. So the question is, do I order a kit for a non rubicon or since I already have a Rubicon suspension so I order that one? Thanks

Non-Rubicon. You’re replacing the only Rubicon parts you have.

If a lift maker is advertising for example a 2" lift "Rubicon", that means it will give a Rubicon model 2" more lift.

Lift kits that do not specify a model, the expectation is they are basing lift height on a Rubicon model and putting it on a non Rubicon model will actually give you more than the advertised lift height.

Mojave models are their own thing and this may or may not apply to them.

You having a Rubicon suspension on already, putting something on advertised as non-Rubicon may give you less lift than expected.

As others have mentioned most suspension manufacturers spec off the Rubicon package, so other models will sit taller.
