Rubicon suspension on a Overland

[Batchinguy]

I have a line on a Rubicon suspension and was curious if this would do the same to my Overland as the Mopar 2” lift kit?
Any thoughts on this or anything else related to this would be appreciated

Nahh. The 2" mopar lift will lift the Rubicon up 2". I think almost 3 on a Sport or Overland. The popular consensus seems to be that the Rubicon suspension will get a Sport/Overland about 3/4 to 1"

Did it on my Overcon

See mine and other posts on the details, gained 3/4” back & 1.25 front. No change in the ride.

So how does this end up working if I have the max tow package now bs rubicon?

I just installed springs, shocks, tires, rims from a rubicon along with a 1.5 teraflex leveling kit at the front, no kit at the back.
At the front it gained 2.5” and at the back 3/4”
It took me about 4hrs to change everything out.
Hope this information helps.

So that confirms it... I was correct. The Rubi springs are about 1.25-1.5" front and 3/4-1" in the rear over standard Sport & Sport S springs. That's good info to know.

I have the Max Tow & the full Rubicon suspension sitting in my garage. From what I have read (and I doubt there is much I missed on it) the rubicon front springs will lift 3/4-1" & the rear is the same height. Its also been said that the progressive rear springs in the Max Tow are better riding springs.

With that I plan to swap the front springs & add a 3/4" spacer for about 1 1/2" front lift & then all 4 of the Rubicon's Fox Shocks. If its level then I will call it good. If the rear ends up lower then the front at all I will have 3/4" spacers on hand to add them as well.

I paid 150 local for the Rubicon Take Off's including the lower arms, all 4 springs & shocks as well as the shiny red tow hooks that I am going to install on my stock bumper just to give some flair as my Gladiator is Firecracker Red. The spacers I ordered was the 3/4" daystar spacers which are the only ones I could easily find for the front & rear in such a small lift.

Can confirm Rubi shocks/springs in Sport S gain ~1" front and .75" rear. I put Rubi takeoffs on my Sport S with 1.5" Teraflex Level and factory isolator, and .75" Daystar rear spacer and gained ~3" front, 1.5" rear.

What does it do for the ride to change just the shocks? I'm looking at some Rubicon factory take-off shocks to put on my Overland.

On the street not much of a difference.
The shocks feel better taking over road holes.

Looks great. I am about to do the same. Did you need to switch the control arms, sway bar links
Yes and track bar from rubicon? I have read that they are thecsame on overland.
