I see a seller near me is offering up a take-off suspension from an XR Rubicon with the following springs:

Front springs (68540187AB, 68540188AB)
Rear Springs (684540228AA 68540224AA)

I have no idea what those numbers mean, I've looked at the spreadsheet hosted here, and am just confused. Would these springs be too much for a Unlimited Sport S? I don't want a massive lift, 2" or so would be great.

My Sport S has the plastic bumpers, pretty basic off the lot model. I will try to get some spring numbers off of mine if it will help.

For reference, these are the springs on my Sport S today:

Left Front: 68253657AD
Right Front: 68253658AD

Left Rear: 68253587AA
Right Rear: 682533588AA

I installed Rubicon 392 shocks on my sport and my understanding is that all XR parts on the sport would require a full change over ie shocks springs ends etc, you need the entire system, but double check my info.

Yeah the seller is including everything, shocks, longer LCAs, etc. I was mostly wondering about the springs since that seems to be the biggest variable.

They'll fit, but does it include shocks? You'll need longer shocks to match the longer springs.

That's gonna be like 4 inches on a sport. Rubicon (non XR) are gonna give you close to 2" and these are another 1.75" over that.

If you are 2 door it'll be even more.

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. I don't think I want to lift it that much TBH. I will probably just keep my eyes peeled for a regular Rubicon take-off near me. Not in a rush as I probably won't do this until next spring/summer anyway.
