The springs are based on vehicle weight and they should all sit about the same height. I mean sure you could probably prove me wrong with a tape measure +/- 0.5" or something but a rubi can't clear any size that a base sport can't. If you run wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels you can clear 33's with no lift. Heck with cut flares you can squeeze 35's in there

Anyone know if there is a way to make the coils work on a TJ? Someone said they are wider. Is there an adapter available?

19/60 is the last two digits of the front spring, and last spring. That particular spring set is only available from the dealer.
18/59 is normally Rubicon JKU with Hardtop and max tow. But I have heard of Saharas with Hardtop and Max tow having 18 springs up front or 59 springs in rear.
The spring combo can't really be guessed by looking at a Jeep. Often times, the Passenger side would get a number higher, as it carries the gas tank on that side. I've been under Jeeps with 4 different spring rates, 17/18 up front and 57/58 in rear. Passenger side was higher on number.
People want the Rubicon shocks since they are valved differently and are MUCH smoother and nicer ride.
My '08 Sahara came with 15/56 springs, and I gained about 3" in the front and 2" in rear when I changed to 18/59 springs. My springs were also 4 years old and my fender was almost touching my tire, looked like i had a hemi.
In regards to your current Jeep, can't tell you for sure if it'd work. But I can send you my stock coils that are a hellova lot softer than my 18/59 coils i you want. Last time I checked, shipping was ~$40.

With half a tank of gas, my JK's left and right sides weigh the same.
The fronts are 15/16, rears are both 59.

That would be awesome! The guy who did the write up didnt have any pics but said the only way you can tell the difference was the length.
