In most cases a Rubi will have higher number springs than a non, but not always, there is no such thing as "Rubi Springs"

See the spring mystery thread for more details
Right, I'm not sure why that is. I did mention that he should check before swapping those though.

I would still say there are springs you will more often find in Rubis, just not *always*. In my case, I had a Sport S 4-door with the 17" wheels, towing package, and 3.73 gears- that's pretty much as upgraded as a Sport gets- and I still found the springs in my friend's 2011 Rubicon were rated a step higher. I know that's not always the case.
