2024 392 Suspension Changes

[OffRoadPatriot]

Has anyone seen anything about the suspension on the new '24 392? I can't find anything that says it's different than the normal XR package, but with a factory winch option and 5,000 lb tow rating, it seems likely that they would have at least increased the spring rate. Has anyone seen the early builds in person? Is there any more room between the bumpstops and axle tube than there is on a '23 392 XR?
Here is Jeep's description of the '24 suspension, but it's not specific to the 392.

For 2024, Wrangler continues to use the proven five-link coil suspension setup. Wrangler’s front suspension features two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal control and a cross car track bar for lateral axle control. The five-link rear suspension features a similar layout to the front suspension, with two upper and two lower high-strength steel control arms for longitudinal axle control, and a track bar for lateral axle control.

The front and rear full-width high-strength steel track bars are positioned to control lateral movement of the axle with minimal angle change during suspension travel. The shocks are tuned for optimum balance between on-road handling and legendary off-road capability, delivering ideal ride comfort, body-roll control and dynamic handling. On Wrangler Rubicon models, an electronic front sway-bar disconnect is featured to provide additional wheel travel when the terrain calls for it.

The published approach, departure, and water fording numbers match the '23 XR numbers, so it seems to be the same height, but they could have increased the spring rate. If I had to guess, I would bet they increased the rear spring rate for the 5,000 lb tow rating. I haven't seen the new tounge limit, but I would hope it was increased from 350 lb to 500 lb, and it should have stiffer springs to support that.
Same for the front. I would guess they put heavier springs in, but maybe only if you get the factory installed winch.
While I would love to see improved travel, that would require more extensive modifications to still clear the 35" tires without rubbing, so I think that is unlikely.

If anyone has any real facts, please share!
