Ok. I can't seem to pm you. So.....is your jk a two or four door? Do you know the spring rates? I'm assuming yours are the normal red rubicon shocks?

Great! Let's talk. I'll pm you.

I'm thinking of going back stock. I just talked to a nice kid at Bilsteins and she told me that for my 2010 2 door Rubicon with no lift I would need Bilstein's 4600 heavy duty shocks. So.....what do you guys think about the Bills? I could save a substantial amount of money going this...

I know, right? If I'm not careful I'll end up where I am now. The guys here have given me some very good advice. I've contacted the one local hot spot for jeep builds in my area. I spoke to a nice kid about keeping me in mind in case they come up with some nearly new parts. I'm in no...

The issue I have is I have an incomplete build with what "some" consider to be marginal parts. I'll leave it at that. I don't feel like it's advisable to build on this lift and starting over is just silly expensive. I've been driving jeeps as my daily driver for the last 20 years. This is...

You are absolutely correct. That's how the guy down at the dealership came up with the two numbers I have for my coil springs. That's how I know about quadratec having just what I need. However, he clammed up when I asked him for the numbers for my shocks. All he told me were the price...

In light of the cost of new rubicon shocks I'm seriously considering bilstiens. How do you think the bills would compare to the rubis? As as for the builds that's certainly an idea. The problem I've run into is an awful lot of these build these days are the four door jobs. Depending on the...

You would be correct but I'm already running into a problem.......there are a ton of differences in the coil rate of the springs and don't get me started on the stock number (differences?) in the rubicon shocks. Man what can of worms I'm running into. I can get "exactly" the springs I need...

I can but it seems I'm taking some chance here. One shop I talked to had a pile of springs "mostly" not marked. Different spring rates, different ages, ect. I can get the original factory but they're actually more expensive than a lot of these after market lifts. I've found an place that...

Better handling on the road. I can always go with mopar high top fenders if I want larger tires, if I want to. As for the original components, I'm guessing they ended up on some pile behind some workshop. The jeep is used and came with a "partial, lift. It's just springs and coils. 2.5 in...

Well, I read it. There's a dandy little skid plate I'd like to have but nothing on the coil spring rates and their "possible" effect on my jeep. Thanks anyway. I guess I'll just try another forum.

I'll go check out your link but I don't want a lift kit. I want to go stock.

Ok, this is a question about spring rates the boys and girls over there at another forum just won't lower themselves to answer. I'm ok with that. I have a 2010 jk rubicon. It's a nice simple low mileage rubi. I like it. I don't much care for the "lift" kit in it. It has Rough Country...
