Default Stock JK suspensions

Been searching and cannot find the answer to this one.

The stock suspensions that come on the X, Sahara's, and Rubi's, are they different? Or are they all the same regardless of the model?

Thinking mostly of the coils and shocks. The literature does not say that anything is different between the models. I realize the 4 door suspension is likely different than the two door due to weight and towing capacities.

Anyone know the answer for sure??

Thanks,

Craig

Don't know for sure about the coils but there's a good chance that the Rubi coils stand a bit taller like they do on the TJ's. As far as the shocks go, the Rubies come with high pressure gas charged monotube shocks and have cans that are red in color. The other models come with low pressure gas charged monotube shocks.

Ya it would be the coils and shocks would be the differents between the models Jk's and if 2 dor or 4 door and the Rudi has a disconnect sway bar in the front but share the same control arms.

I think just the shocks are different. I know that the spec's show the Sahara and the Rubi have the same ground clearance. My old 05' unlimited had the Rubi springs due to the increased weight......but that was an 05'.
