Is this even worth my time? I got a chance to get some stock TJ Rubicon springs with low milage for like 30 bucks. I have been running 32 BFG Ats on my 99 Sahara bc I have 1.75 in spacers and lobger shocks to adjust accordingly. I had been told stock Rubi coils would give me another inch on top of stock so I was considering buying and using these too. Is it worth the wrench time to change out my coils for these to get that other inch or it questionable to where I can see the difference? Thanks for the help
 
No

No it isn't worth it.
The only difference you will really see is from what your springs have sagged.
If you want lift, pick up a set of of 2" or 3" springs from somewhere.
They aren't to pricey, not as cheap as used springs, but the difference between Rubi springs and TJ springs is nill. Compare fender height to center of hub at a dealer's lot. There isn't an inch difference there.

If you're bored? Go for it. Or if your springs are older and sagging, you will get some gain out of it. (with a 99, you will, but I wouldn't bother, but then again I am lazy)
 
Thats what I had determined too...thanks for the input, makes me feel better about the decision. trying to get some BDS 3 in, springs off another board for a 100 or so
 
if you can get the part numbers off your springs and the Rubi springs, we could make a better call...

the fronts should end with 126-130 and the rears 103-106...the bigger the number, the stiffer the spring...

if you currently have 126/103, and the Rubi springs were 130/106, you'd see a decent difference in addition to just getting rid of the sag in yours...

there should be tags on all the springs...
