What do you need to do to put 17s on a 06 rubicon unlimited? Will a 1" body lift do it or do I need more? It's a daily driver but I like some weekend fun too ..

17 inch wheels would not be a problem at all if you stay with a tire that is the same height as your current tire.
How tall of a tire do you want to run? I would go with a 265/75/16. You could keep you current wheels and would only need a Budget boost 2inch lift. If you want to go this 17 inch wheels I would run. 255/70/17 or a 265/70/17. I have never used this size before so I have no recommened brand. Generally 17inch tire are more $$ then 16inch
I don't like body lifts. a 2inch budget boost is easy to install.

17" tires are probably quite a bit shorter than what you've got already...so you should clear your fenders A-OK. As for your differentials, well...

I was thinking of using a set of 17s off of a 2009 wrangler rubicon
I did not check the difference in height of the ruby 16s and the ruby 17s.

I'd be more concerned about the bolt pattern matching up...

If you're thinking newer ruby 17s (only rubicon 17s that I know of) they are just under a 33" tire.
BUT, and this is a BIG BUT
They won't fit an 06. They have a different bolt pattern. 5on 5 instead of the 06's 5 on 4.5.
you might be able to find some spidertrax style adapters f you really wanted to though.
