High stock suspension?

[zdr]

Did it have any other pieces of armor (on/under) or a tire carrier on it?

I looked underneath. It appeared to be all stock. I actually test drove it 5 days ago and thought it drove great but didn't think it was much different from mine (height).

I just measured a 21 Rubicon Ecodiesel and compared it to my 21 Rubicon manual V6. Both have the tow package. The diesel has approx. 7,500 miles on it and steel bumpers. Mine has approx. 4,500 miles and the plastic bumpers. The diesel sat approx. 1/2 inch higher at the front fender and approx. 3/4 inch higher at the rear fender when compared to mine (same level ground). I have read that the Ecodiesel Rubicon sits 1.25-1.5 higher than a regular Rubicon. Would the steel bumpers on the diesel cause that much of a difference?

AFAIK the steel bumper option gets you stiffer springs, so that shouldn't be much of a factor. I can tell you, after installing an aftermarket LOD bumper and badland apex 12k winch on my JLURD that had factory plastic bumpers, that my front end definitely came down at least .5-.75".

I thought there were just one set of springs for the Diesels.

Definitely not, but it seems as if maybe it's just 2021 getting the other?! Not sure exactly because I am pretty sure I have the 2.0 springs as shown in this post https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/ecodiesel-rubicon-suspension-swap.50024/page-3

Mine also doesn't have the cast iron knuckles likely say it should have

Has anyone measured from ground to bottom of the frame rail on a diesel and gasser for height difference? Rubicons have a higher fender flare than other models if that is being used as a reference point.
