Default Wrangler struts?

I've read that Wrangler Rubicon struts are a good upgrade from stock for a small BB lift. I was wondering if the other wrangler struts would works as well.

wranglers don't have struts. they have shocks, and coils.


in answer, anything for a wrangler front end is 1" taller than it's cherokee counterpart.

so, if you put wrangler front springs in, you'd net approximately 1" lift.
