Rubicon Springs on Sahara

[Wraith]

Did you make sure to put the higher spring numbers on the passenger side? ....only thing I can think of

Absolutely. When I bought them a few of the labels were loose and moving around freely on the springs but the higher numbers went on the PS per factory specs.

3/8" doesn't seem like an issue to me. Probably just gas in the tank. Mine is 3/8" different in rear also.
Your front discrepancy is even smaller. My front is about 1/16" different. No issues with about 10k miles since I installed the springs.

Are the shocks gas charged shocks? I know nothing about these Fox shocks.

I just retook the measurements to the frame rail for better accuracy and they are as follows:

Front:
13 1/2" (DS Front)
13 1/4" (PS Front)

Difference of: 1/4" lean to PS

Rear:
13 11/16" (DS Rear)
13 1/2" (PS Rear)

Difference of: 3/16" lean to PS

Visually from the rear it looks substantially worse. Not sure if its an optical illusion but its very noticeable. My wife even asked why its leaning so bad. Not sure what the deal is.

EDIT - Forgot to back out the ground to flare measurement. If my rear framerail was at 37" and the front was 13" I have bigger problems lol.

I think it's an optical illusion. I have a bigger discrepancy right now and don't see it. 3/16" is tiny. I wouldn't worry about it.

Is your gas tank full or empty? I haven't measured, but right now I have a full tank and have that slight PS side lean which makes sense - it's 150 pounds of gas.

Wouldn't worry about that small difference, just enjoy your new setup!

Hey guys! I'm not trying to hijack this thread but this seems like the right place for this question.
I just bought a JLUR 3.0 Ecodiesel take off suspension. From everything I read it seems the springs should have separate part numbers for front and rear, driver and passenger. Mine don't. Front is the same numbers and size 19" pn 3667AD
Rear is the same numbers and size 14 5/8" pn 3601AA
The only difference between them is Load ID and one of each spring has a green tag

Does any one have any idea of which way these are installed or does it even matter if the number is the same?

Just look at it like this...

Since the spring #s are the same it won't matter which side you put them on. Interested to see how much lift you end up getting, keep us posted!

Yes sir I will! Do you think there will be a tilt or do you think they are just that stiff

Interesting... I think there might be more than one set of shocks for the 3.0 Rubicon.

From my notes:
68273118AB = Front
68382846AB = Rear

From your photos:
68273119AB = Front
68272561AB = Rear

The configuration i got mine from was a hard top with non steel bumpers. What configuration are the numbers you have?

JLUR, hardtop, tow package, plastic bumpers. It's even the same spring numbers as the ones you posted.

I can't wait to see how yours turns out!
