My Rubicon springs were from the lighter Rubicon, the lower numbers, and I got all but an inch under my Overland, so I'd expect an inch or more for the higher numbered Rubicon springs under a Sport.
Right now I tossed a bag of mulch I had lying around back there. It works at the moment, but a permanent solution will be on the horizon.
Yeah I only gained 3/4 of an inch with the stiffest Rubicon gasser springs. And I actually swapped the Rubicon Fox shocks back out for my stock Willys shocks and I like the ride much better. JMOAlready had the Rubicon Fox shocks on the Sport, but had a chance to install Rubicon springs just in the front this past weekend. Doesn't seem to have lifted as much as I'd hoped, but it definitely rides and drives different. For the slightly better.
Sorry for the hijack but would you consider the Fox Rubicon shocks firmer or softer than the red ones?
The "gain" or "lift" from the Rubicon springs will vary from about .75 to roughly 1.00"
I have the Rubicon Shocks on my Max Tow and I really haven't found it to be much better than what I had before. Eventually now that I have done with the cosmetic changes will start to do a few guess would say performance changes that won't screw with the warranty, etc. Steering Stabalizer, better shocks, sway disconnects.
The rear of mine bounces. It was a better ride when it was a stock Overland, now it's harsh and bouncy with the rear end. Front, not as bad.
Interesting. I lost the rear ended bounce after the swap. It just feels more solid. You feel bumps more, but it reacts and is done. No more bouncing up and down once or twice after hitting a bump. I don’t know my spring rates or part numbers, but they came off of a Launch Edition.
