Rubicon Suspension Parts on Sport?

[Disc Dog Guy]

Hey gang, need a quick answer on this one. I found an ad on Facebook Market Place; this is for a 2022 Gladiator, the seller pulled off the OEM suspension and put a lift kit on his vehicle. I have the Gladiator Sport and wanted to level it out, I think these parts are the best way to do. He sold the Fox Shocks, but that's not a big issue as I really like the Bilsteins better. He is asking $100.00!!!

If it's low miles, that's a great deal.

That's about right for a rubi suspension.

The only thing different about the Rubicon stuff vs yours (minus shocks) is the springs. They will provide a little lift, but I wouldn't bother swapping anything else over.

Fwiw I sold my stock rubi suspension for 200.00 local. Everything minus the rear track bar because I used it for a brace on another project

If you put a leveling kit on while swapping springs it will be more worth the work. IMO it’s not worth it just to put the springs in by themselves. You may get .5-1” of lift. All those other parts besides the springs are same as your sport.

If you are wanting to go for level I'd just pick up a set of Teraflex 1.5" spacers for around the same price sooner than having a pile of scrap metal in the way. Only thing good to you is the springs.

Like others have said, the only things that are different are the shocks and springs. All control arms, sway bar links, and track bars are the same.

I paid $200 for Rubicon shocks and springs. Gained 3/4" or so of ride height.

The Rubicon suspension will level out a sport if you leave the rear springs on the sport and just swap the front springs, about all you need to do. I did it this way with mine and added a 2.5 inch Readylift set lift kit to it.

The front Rubicon shocks were a welcome addition to my Max Tow. Really freed up the steering and softened the ride up front. I also have a winch and Sony l Mopar stubby bumper.

Agreed, the rubicon shocks are softer riding. In this case they are already sold.

Don’t do it! Big mistake!

Now, where did you say these parts are?…..

Lol. Was thinking the same $100 is a steal especially if low miles.
