Rubicon Express Coils & Monotubes

JK LYF · Nov 6, 2015

For those of you running this set up, can you provide any input? Good, bad & ugly....

I have their coils and Fox 2.0s, It was good for me and my driving. It was on the stiffer side of things but I like to drive fast. Other then that they are ok.

What size coils? And 2 door correct?

Yes 2dr and i have the 4.5s

Thanks noroad. I'm thinking about going that route but maybe 2.5. That may be too much lift for me.

I've got Rubicon Express 3.5 coils and Mono-tubes. I love the lift and ride after the install. Much better than stock IMO in ride quality. My 4-door got exactly 3.5" of lift from the kit.

Had the 3.5 Superflex lift & just replaced with a RK kit. Rode stiff. Quality was ok. I would say that this is a decent entry level kit.
Thinking of selling mine complete with front DS as well.

The 2.5 coils ride a lot better than the 3.5 coils. I have the 3.5 and there a little bit stiff in my opinion

JK LYF · Nov 6, 2015

Thanks fellas. Will the 2.5 clear 315s?

I was also told the Monotubes are rebranded Bilsteins.

I heard the kit was made specifically for either 2 or 4 doors and that for the most part, you will get the amount of lift as stated.

I have the RE 2.5" lift with 305/70/17 tires and there's plenty of room. I did add s 3/4" spacer to the rear coils because imo the rear sat a little low.

Thanks fellas. Good to know. Mountainjk, what shock are you running?

Thanks. Has the combo of coils/shocks held up well on the trails?

It's a good lift for the $$. Performs well on the trail. They do ride a little stiff though.

JK LYF · Nov 7, 2015

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

Changed your mind about the plush ride coils?
