Rubicon Express Overview


Founded in 1996, Rubicon Express has always been a company of dedicated off-roaders, and the organization’s goal has always been to provide Jeep motorists with the highest quality suspension components at the greatest value possible. Today, Rubicon Express’ focus has not wavered and the organization is proud to be the industry standard in after-market Jeep suspension and drive-train products.

The Rubicon Express passion for excellence has been the driving force from the very beginning and the organization has never lost sight of its humble start. The organization understands and respects the investment its customers make in their vehicles. The Rubicon staff members are all Jeepers, and will do their best to answer any questions about the Rubicon Express products customers may have.

Knowing that a Jeep build is never really “finished”, Rubicon Express has engineered all of its Short Arm suspension systems with an upgrade path in mind. This was the basis behind the development of the first Jeep Long Arm suspension system. This allows starting out moderately and then upgrading as desired.

The Rubicon Express Extreme-Duty Long Arm System was the first radius long arm suspension available for the Jeep Wrangler JK. This system has been engineered to work WITH your Jeep’s Electronic Stability Controls and Rubicon edition electronic sway bar WITHOUT compromising safety. Featuring Rubicon Express’ world-class chromoly Radius Long Arms, the geometry has been meticulously designed to keep pinion and driveshaft angles in phase, while eliminating suspension jacking and unwanted suspension squat. The organization uses 2" x .250 wall chromoly tubing for its lower control arms for serious off- road use. The Extreme-Duty Long Arm system coupled with properly valved Rubicon Express shocks allows the JK Wrangler to transmit throttle input to the wheels over varied terrain, providing sure-footed traction and positive suspension feedback. The result is superior on road handling and unrivaled off-road performance, without the need to disable factory safety features. The 3.5” suspension will allow the use of 35” tires. The 4.5” suspension will allow the use of 37” tires. Driveline modifications will be required.

The Rubicon Express Extreme-Duty suspension is the system of choice if its customers desire a substantial increase in ground and tire clearance for their vehicle, as well as greatly increased suspension flexibility. This system features Rubicon Express Extreme-Duty leaf springs with military wrap at one end, which are unmatched for durability, flexibility and ride quality. Greaseable shackles, stainless steel brake lines, sway bar disconnects, U-bolts, main eye bushings and much more are included on the Extreme-Duty systems. This is the most complete kit to be found on the market.

Rubicon Express proudly offers the highest quality production shocks money can buy. The organization has been evolving and refining these shocks for over a decade. Now they are better than ever with improvements in the manufacturing process, materials, finishes and tunes. Customers can get the most out of their suspension by adding the Rubicon Express no compromise shock solution.

Moving forward, Rubicon Express will continue to design and manufacture unsurpassed suspension systems for all of its customers Jeep needs, desires, and budget.

Rubicon Express: Pioneering Trail-Proven Suspension Options


In 1996, two Jeep enthusiasts joined forces to create Rubicon Express (RE), a company dedicated to delivering premium-quality Jeep suspension components at maximum value. Founders Scott Becker and Ryan Wallace understood that a Jeep was a work-in-progress and owners required a wide array of dependable options to upgrade their 4x4s. After 16 years, RE remains firmly committed to engineering Jeep suspension systems, lift kits and leveling kits for stability and affordability.  

Located near the legendary Rubicon Trail in the Sierra Nevada region of California, Rubicon Express tests its suspension lifts on the rigors of actual trails. Distinguished by a first-hand knowledgeable team that intimately understands the unique needs of 4x4 owners, RE has risen through the ranks. Today, Jeep owners rely on Rubicon Express for trail-proven, after-market suspension and drive-train products.

Rubicon Express incorporates the best elements of suspension systems for owners hankering for quality and the budget-minded. Their full spectrum of options is designed for building in stages and stepping up as budgets allow. Rubicon Express lift kits are world-renowned for their clearance for taller wheels and tires and afford unrivaled articulation and wheel travel. For off-roaders seeking a seamless ride on rock, sand or gravel the ideal option is a Rubicon Express lift kit.

Still steeped in everything Jeep, Rubicon Express is constantly testing and improving its exceptional line of suspension solutions. Maximum traction, utmost safety and supreme comfort are attributes that keep Jeepers coming back to Rubicon Express products.
