Spring Sag After 1 Year
Just took delivery of a '14 Sport and compared to my wife's '13 Sport the new one is exactly 1" higher front and back. Both are equipped identically. Springs really relax after only a year, I was kinda surprised.

How many miles on the 13? Are there other factors playing into the sag other than just driving?? And thank you for giving me a decent excuse to go measure a stock jeep and then buy some lift coils.

Spring rates vary. Are you sure they're the same springs? The last two numbers should tell you... The higher the number, the stiffer/taller the spring. There is a thread or two here about the different springs.

Around 16k on the '13. Only reason I noticed was we had 'me parked side by side in the drive.
I was thinkin of doin the TF leveling kit, but I may opt for a lift with new springs now.

I'll check on the part numbers and post back, just thought it was interesting. Both are stock and identical other than model year.

I would check the spring numbers for sure. I've seen instances where someone who ordered theirs without Max Tow or dual tops got stiffer springs than mine did. Seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
