Default OEM Coils Springs and Shocks, Should I keep em?

When I had my Jeep lifted I was so excited that I forgot to ask for my parts back, called the guys he said no problem, he'd hold them for me till I got a chance to swing back by. Well he gave me back my original springs (2013 JKU Sport) but instead of MY factory shocks, he gave me some (I believe) Rubicon shocks, red ones. Should I just chuck em or try to make some money off of them? He said they came off a new Jeep that they had just lifted... Thoughts?

You can sell them and make a couple bucks. Or give them to someone to pay it forward. He can give you a hand later with his tools so you're not paying potential parts money to an installer. ;-)

Whoever gets, ensure they know springs are not off a Rubi JKU. Those are coveted by two door owners to get a little lift.

Thanks Mark, there is a reason you are a Jedi!

Actually though, I think maybe the springs are from a Rubicon as well...

Rear Spring Part # 68004460AA

Front Springs Part # 52126318AC

Can someone confirm this?

Not necessarily a Rubicon. Could just be because a hard top and jku.

Same spring that come on some rubis though!

These are the stickers I pulled off my stock Rubicon JKU. Looks like they match up.

Keep them!

You never know when you may have to return it to stock. I've had to do it in the past, or needed a stock part - glad I kept them.
