My front two were different too on my 2007 sahara. Had a 16 and a 15, did a leveling kit and it looks fine. Not sure why they were different. Bought a rubi set from a guy with 2008 set and they TOO were different.

Nothing to worry about. Many came from the factory that way, gas tank is passenger side, compensates for the weight.

I was a little concerned that the rubicon suspension would be stiffer than my Sahara but its not. The shocks make the difference...just ask my wife. She loves the way it rides now.

"Jeep lean". The passenger side is lower, gas tank. Higher
number spring means it is a bit stiffer, a bit taller.
When getting new springs, set up right on level floor,
the one that might be a bit taller should go on the passenger
side, to help correct, "Jeep lean".
