I've read some varying opinions on multiple forums regarding the installation of Rubicon Spring/Shocks on non-Rubi Jeeps. On our Jeep I went from factory sport 14/55 coils to 17/59 Rubi coils and red Rubi shocks. This netted right around 1.5 inches of lift front and rear. On installation I loosened the frame side track bar bolts front and rear and then re-torqued them to spec post install with the vehicle sitting level on the ground. Is it absolutely necessary to do the same for the control arms for what is essentially a stock lift of this height?
If I was doing an aftermarket 2 inch or 2.5 lift, I could see the need and would go thru the motions to loosen and re-torque all the control arms mainly due to the increased lift height. But 1.5" gain from swapping stock coils, am I really killing my stock bushings?
Thanks!
