Bought some rubi springs from Sean (makizoo) a couple of days ago. Finally got time to put them on.... lemme tell you my amazing results....
Front right went from 29 7/16 to 31" Difference of 1 9/16
Front left went from 29 1/2 to 31 3/16 Difference of 1 11/16
i am extremely happy with these results. My stock springs were obviously getting old and sagging a bit. Now my jeep doesn't look like she'll leaning forward anymore. Haven't swapped the rears out yet, i'll do that eventually i was just anxious to see what the fronts would do.
Thanx again Sean for the springs and the great deal.

Depends how old the TJ springs were, out of curiosity how many miles on both sets of springs?

The Rubi springs were 18 months old and had 24.8K mostly street miles.

Well i bought the Jeep stock with 39k miles on it, and now it has close to 79k. I'm assuming the previous owner didn't swap them out.
I'm just pumped about how much i got. I need an alignment now i think. Get alittle shaking (but not too bad) at 45 mph.

also, the rubi spring trick works a lot better on a 4 cyl than a 6., because of the difference in facory spring rate.
I did it on mine with rubi coils w/ 0 miles on them, and got a noticable difference, but never actually measured. Keep in mine they were replacing 7 year old springs w/ 115k on them.
