Both of ours are 2010 JKU Rubicons...
I will have to look at my springs later when I get home as I installed a teraflex lift a few weeks ago, and mine is a manual, Vin #4 = B.
I'll also check the wife's setup, too, since hers is an auto and Vin #4 = H.
(Theory follows)
But, on a more insidious note
and based on an earlier post in this thread: I'm more concerned with the window sticker quoting a HD suspension and not having the right components installed when you buy it. It almost seems like a way for the dealers to "justify" raising the price but not spending the money for the components. For example, on a window sticker, an optionally installed component can override or replace a component that was originally delivered with the vehicle from the factory. In my case, my red JKU sticker stated soft top and then had an optionally installed hardtop. I insisted on having a dual top option Jeep and they delivered mine with a hardtop only. They had to special order the soft top since it wasn't delivered with it. Same thing with my "towing package," they ordered and installed a hitch with wiring harness... so much for the true factory towing kit.
I'd like to think there are no problems. My sticker states: STANDARD EQUIPMENT (UNLESS REPLACED BY OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT) and listed a soft top, while the hard top is listed under OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT.
Either way, I still like what I have for what I paid.
Last edit: the bottom of the window sticker does have a disclaimer:
"This window sticker may or may not match the actual window sticker on the vehicle itself. We reserve the right to make changes without notice and are not responsible for typographical errors. Dealers are independent and free to set their own prices."
Lmao @ the first sentence... the window sticker matches the window sticker... yes or no? This is the online sticker compared to the one on the actual vehicle.

...I would like to propose that you post to this thread only the following:
1 - Your Jeep Model: X, Unlimited or Rubicon 2 door or 4 door
2 - Heaviest top you got the jeep with
3 - Your Front Left Spring Number (all jeeps have one number higher on the left than the right to account for drivers side gas tank weight)
4 - Your Rear Spring Number
5 - Your Shock Part Number only if Red/Rubicon shocks, if Black just say black.
6 - The fourth Digit in your VIN: either F or G
7 - Year of the Jeep
Every time you post I will copy your post and edit in the spring numbers on the post following this one.

RF: 52126317AB

My gas tank on on the passenger side. My wife's gas tank is also on the passenger side. I've never seen one on the driver's side in a JK
I'll post my wife's Sahara when it gets back from the dealer.

This is odd and contradicts previous conclusions
My wife's 08 four door Sahara with hard top and towing.
Automatic
Vin G
LF 52126315AB
RF 52126316AB
RR 68004459AA
LR 68004459AA
Black Shocks
The interesting part is her front springs are one number lower than mine, yet her Sahara sits over 1" higher than mine (same size tires). We noticed that the day we bought hers. Hers has more miles on it than mine. Hers rides softer than mine. Her rear end sags less than mine when we tow the boat. (The Sahara, not her booty)

My info
I've been considering lifts too. I don't want a spacer because I'm not looking for tire clearance, just 33's but mostly for weight capacity. Any time I load up too much weight, I sag. But I've also always wondered why I sit higher than other stock jeeps ...
2007 JKU
Hard Top (originally, not just bikini and windjammer)
G in the VIN
18 on left, 19 on right (gas tank on right)
Tow package and all black.
Sorry for the terse reply, using my iPhone.
