Default Difference in X and Rubi springs?

Is there a difference in X and Rubi springs? Are the Rubi springs stiffer?

I think the springs are the same, its the shocks that are different unless your X has the "Heavy-Duty Suspension" package.

Thought it was 24,0r 26 dif spring rates. Aww, who the hell knows. Hellbound, check your window sticker if you still have it. If your jk came with a tow package, usually it'll say heavy duty susp,gas shocks as a added option. You outta just get a lift man, you got so much that breaks already that you replaced,you outta be golden with a lift.

Are the 36 or 24 or 16 different srping ratings after market springs? I think the original question refers to the difference in rubi and x factory. I know the shocks are different, but I would like to know about the "factory" springs also.
