Default Problem With 52126319AC Springs

Does anyone know what color code are the front springs on #52126319AC JKU. The tag is pink color but the paint on the spring itself is green. I just bought them from the dealer and I think they sent me the wrong ones. I have 52126318AC on the front now and the tag and paint on the spring is green. I also have some 52126317AC which the tag & paint is light blue. I'm thinking that the paint on the 19 springs should be pink to match the tags.

Does anyone have an answer to this? I guess I'll have to contact the dealership in the morning.

I have never seen a factory JK coil that wasn't black. (I've been through 3 sets)

Do the springs not have a tag with the part number on them?

Yes, the springs are black powder coated. the #17 tag on the spring is light blue, there is a light blue paint mark on the spring by the tag. On the #18 spring it has a green tag with a green paint mark on the spring & the #19 spring has a pink tag with the same green paint mark as the #18 spring. I think they put a paint mark on the spring in case the paper tag comes off to tell the spring tension. I think the dealer messed up and put a pink tag (#19) on a green marked spring (#18) They don't even know what I'm talking about at the dealer.

What is the color on the tag. Does the spring have the same color paint mark in it?

Ok, now I understand the question.

You could be right, but the factory and not the dealer would have placed the tag on the spring. Someone may have put the wrong tag on the wrong spring where ever the springs are made.

Your statement that the dealer has no idea what you are talking about is not surprising. Some parts department counter staff just sell part numbers and have no idea what they are selling.

I don't recall if they have a paint mark on them. I will check in the morning.

If they do and they are the same, that will answer my question. I don't want to remove my #18 springs to install the #19 just to realize they were the same. Thanks for the help.
