Anyone have stock Rubicon suspension parts?

If you still want the option of being flexy on the trail, you could get some quick discos for 0-2" lift.
Indeed, I have learned the value of quick disconnects. Last spring in Moab my wife even said, did you disconnect the sway bar yet!

I will have to take a closer look. I might be able to cut my existing links and re-thread them to make them fit.

Ideally, you want to retain the stock 4" of uptravel the jeep came with out of the box, or more. Depending on what you find for springs, another option if you have to flat out buy them would be H&R springs which will give you 1" of lift over stock.
I could probably live with a 1 inch lift. I would have to find some rust free used springs otherwise I would buy new.

Problem with used springs is that they are "used". You won't know until you install them if they have sagged, or have any wear. I know you're trying to be frugal with the jeep, but consider either some Moog replacements, or the H&R's as mentioned. I really do enjoy spending your money Larry. lol!
I would only consider low mileage used springs but I won’t go so cheap and comprises a really nice Jeep.

A guy today just offered me $19k and I said no. I’m asking $19.5k. I’m afraid he might call back and offer $19.5k.
It’s going off the market tomorrow and he knows it. We will see........

The guy didn’t call back so I took the rig off the market.
I will begin sourcing parts soon. I may go get new tires, probably 31’s before I drop the suspension.

I’m trying to decide whether to buy a complete new set of upper and lower, front and back control arms. I currently have adjustable uppers front and back so I would only need lower arms. Question, are the center to center length of all the control arms the same distance? Also, when you go back to stock control arm lengths, are your pinion angles now set to stock? It would make sense to me that there would not be any pinion angle issues with stock control arms.
Sorry if these are dumb questions.

It’s looking like lowering a TJ isn’t a very popular topic [emoji851]

My understanding is the lengths for front uppers is the same as the rear uppers. The front lowers are the same length as the rear lowers.

I can measure my old stock arms tomorrow Larry. Just set the adjustable uppers to stock length and get new stock lowers.
Jim that would be a real help. That’s what I thought I would do if I had the measurements.
Thanks!

I might be able to buy 4 lower adjustable control arms for around the same price as 8 stock non adjustable arms. My current upper adjustable arms are quite robust so if it makes sense I would like to come close to them on the lowers.
