Default Rubicon vs Sport Suspension

Possibly a stupid question but is there any height difference in the Rubicon suspension compared to that of the standard Sport suspension.

No, there is no height different, different shocks.

The only height difference would be because of the larger tyres on the rubicon... so the rubi would be about 10mm higher...

SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND.

put on a set of 17" rims and you have rubicon clearance. or 265/75/16 on your sport and you won't be far short.

Yossarian - keep asking the questions. It's no trouble mate.

Search can sometimes be a PITA to find answers - don't be afraid to ask.

As the others have said. No difference in suspension. Just the extra height in the tyres that makes a difference. So you can chuck a set of 32's on a sport and still have plenty of clearance.
