This is super useful for me personally, come springtime (no pun intended) I'm ordering a 2 door rubicon, and am looking to do a very similar build to this one. I have also noticed the same thing while looking up parts that finding things for the 2 door is a lot more difficult, which sucks, because while I get the appeal of the four door, it's length definitely makes it a compromise in off road maneuverability.
Hey everyone…. You guys have to give old Fred a thumbs up, if you watch it, like it!!! We need this content to keep coming and this helps Fred out!!!! LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE!!!!!! BTW: thanks for content Fred! Watch your channel and Dave’s every day!
Hopefully you enjoy the Synergy coils. I've been running them in my JL for the past 2 years, and they've been fantastic... but I only do 1/3 of the stuff you tackle lol 😆
hey fred have you had issues with progressive metal cloak springs making noise when u compress it fast? almost like there might be the metal binding against the coil itself. 15 jku 3.5 metal cloak lift
I currently have the Mopar 2 inch on my JL. It's worked great. After taking out the rear seat, I have a storage system and tools I carry around alot in the back. I'm getting a little sag in the back. I'd like to stiffen it up. I had hoped I could use JLU Mopar rear springs but best I could tell, it's all the same. Maybe the brand you found is my answer, or maybe a spacer?
I had a company make coil springs for my JK pickup, they specialized in handicap vans and limousines. Got the height and load capacity without guessing. Maybe something to look at in the future
i was just thinking about coil springs!!!! I have a stock gladiator sport, want to level it or give a small 2" lift. Id rather get longer springs than spacers.
We actually just put a mopar 2" lift that was on our JLU for about 8 months and stuck it on the JL over the weekend. It is definitely a little stiffer ride, but not terrible. We have considered changing them out ao good to see someone else having the same thoughts.
I don’t get why the JK never got fenders like those. I love the stock look but want them mounted higher like the quadratec ones. The Mopar high tops are ridiculously expensive so I don’t even consider those an option

liked .. partially for the info .. partially for how comfy baxter looked sitting there
Baxter doesn’t seem to be interested in working today. Looks like he’d rather hang out on Dad’s lap.

I just posted this video up on JLforum!
Salute on another great video

The different spring rate/length is for the gas tank to reduce the 'JK lean' of old.
Thank you.
They sell retaining kits for the rear springs so they don't pop out.
If you wanted the perfect coil, you should’ve went with an airbag…
I have Skyjacker TJ long travel springs in the front of my XJ and they've been fantastic for adding downward travel without a ton of ride height
Thanks Fred that was extremely helpful. I know what to consider now when buying my springs.

I plan to go Old Man Emu springs in my 2 door JL.
smallest market? look for something for a gen 1 Kia Sportage!

Rugged ridge also makes high-like fenders which look stock but offer a lot more clearance and LED light strip.
Geez JL’s are hella lame lol!
twist torque.
Love the channel Fred!
AEV 2.5 inch for a 2dr, corner specific, triple rate, frequency tuned, just shy of 3 inches with bumpers and all the add ons.
Yeah, and even some ‘big’ companies don’t offer corner specific coils which are 100% needed 😒
did baxter eat the whole wheel of cheese?! i'm not even angry, i'm impressed!

Great information. Very helpful. Thanks Fred

daves already shown his safety check in. your falling behind
thanks for the vid. have you seen the Rancho 2 door specific coils yet? i'm considering those as the current ones i'm running are way too harsh.
Wow alot of information brother
I had no idea they separated the springs out in that configuration
Baxter is like less talk more work lol .
Quadratec has a stock looking fender that’s taller than even the rubicon fender and uses the stock marker lights
I don’t get why the JK never got fenders like those. I love the stock look but want them mounted higher like the quadratec ones. The Mopar high tops are ridiculously expensive so I don’t even consider those an option
