OK, here's my info;

1 - Rubicon 2 door
2 - Hardtop
3 - Front D/S Spring - 52126314AB
- Front P/S Spring - 52126315AB
4 - Rear Spring - 68004256AA
5 - Rear Shock - Red 52126752AC
6 - G
7 - 2009

The front springs are as they were installed by the factory.

I'm running the Mopar front off road bumper and Mopar front skid plate and my Jeep sits about 1/4" higher on the front passenger side at 36" to the bottom of the flare, and 35 3/4" to the same point on the driver side.........go figure

Here's what came on mine:

1 - Unlimited X 4 Door
2 - Soft Top
3 - 52126316AB Driver ; 52126317AB Passenger
4 - 68004458AA
5 - Black Shocks
6 - F
7 - 2009

Extra info:

I did buy a set of Rubi springs and shocks that came off a 2008 4 door Rubi. Think his was a soft top, but don't know VIN.

His springs were 52126315AB Driver and 52126316AB Passenger. (shorter than my springs).
Rear springs were 68004459AA
Red shocks 52126712AD Front and 52126752AC Rear.

Also to note, the physical height of the front springs increase with the higher part number (ie. 52126317AB > 52126316AB > 52126315AB). The height difference is 1/2 a coil per part number (so the 17AB is a full coil taller than the 15AB, but only 1/2 a coil taller than the 16AB). Don't know the spring rates and don't know if the rates run in similar fashion.

The front springs on my girlfriends 2WD JK Unlimited X 4 door are even shorter, as expected, numbered 13AB and 14AB.

My gas tank is on the passenger side. So far all the Jeeps I've looked at had the smaller number driver, larger number passenger.

A big Jeep Wave and thanks to Steve's 95YJ, Chuck Bullitt and AZ Jeeper.

Interesting note on each spring having a half a coil over the next lower number.

Makes total sense and we are closer to getting the hang of what matters if you are going to all of the trouble to swap these into your jeep!!

Keep it coming everyone!
