Hoping you guys can give me some guidance. So I put some Rubi take-offs on my 2021 sport back in 2020. A few weeks back, I noticed my passenger-side rear shock leaking. I picked up some newish take-offs(200 Miles on them) from a 2021 Rubicon 4xe, but I noticed the part number do not match up. The old numbers are 68509434AA and 68509430AA. The new numbers are 68509431AB and 68509435AB. Did the Rubi shocks change in any way? Can I just swap out the leaking one, or should I do the whole set just to be safe?

Were the first ones from a 4xe? The 4xe is quite a bit heavier, so the shocks would have a different spec. If so, they will probably ride al little more firm than what you has before.

The AA and AB is the revision level. I'm guessing you have an entirely different set of shocks this time around given the part numbers preceding the letters are different. And as previous post said - 4xe should be valved differently for the pallet of batteries underneath it.
