Hello again to all! To those who have owned both. What do you think about ride quality between the two both on and off road? Handling on road regarding body lean or sway? The reasons that I am asking is that I have never driven a stock Rubicon but I did own one with AEV 2" spacer lift with stock Fox shocks and 37's. That definitely rode softer and was more compliment than the stock suspension on my 2023 Max Tow on 35's. My plans are to add 1.5 Terraflex to the front and .75 to the rear for additional clearance and to maintain a slight rake. I have taken off Rubicon springs from a loaded steel bumper hard top Rubicon but I will have to dig them out for the spring numbers. I know that the pay load on my Max Tow is approximately 300 pounds higher but I would think that some of that is due to the weight difference between Rubicon and Sport S. Pros and cons for/against changing to Rubicon springs? I know that it's not too big of a job but I only want to do it once if possible. Intended use is daily driver and mild to moderate trails. I am not interested in towing at this time. Just hoping someone has done this. Thanks
