you can pretty much get all the part numbers you need from this thread. There are different springs based off the options the Rubicon had. Control arms are the same as the sport. Front sway links have a different PN from the sport and do appear to be slightly longer. Not sure about rear as I did not check those. For the spring isolators I can give you one which is 68342250AB however I am not sure if that is for the right or left.

Are you trying to buy the parts separately vs finding someone with a complete take off set?
Its just where I live no one is really having take offs. So I have to pay shipping, and after that it may not be worth it to find take offs. Not to mention I'd have to find out for sure if they had Hard Top, Steel bumpers, tow package etc. I'd rather see if I can find it all together with the best springs for more height and to hold the load of added bumpers, supplies, etc.

So are the 61/62 and 90/91 springs going to yield the most lift on a Sahara hardtop?

Where are you at? This is in Brownsville.....he is asking about $150 too much. $200 is pretty much the going price.

Awesome. Just sent him an Email. he's like 40 min from me.

Very cool....FYI....I just check my old isolators and they are the same PN as the Rubicon ones I got. If you cant make a deal with him then you have the info you need to order. Good Luck!

That is correct. Or at least those are the highest spring numbers I have seen. I don't know what springs your Sahara has. Do you have the type package and hard top and/or steel bumpers? If so, you won't see as much since your spring numbers will likely be higher than a plastic bumper not tow package.

My Sahara is a hardtop no tow package with plastic bumpers.

So will 2018 shocks and springs off a Rubicon fit a 2014 JKU? The last 2 photos are from the 2018 Rubicon and first 4 are from the 2014 JKU. The numbers don’t even match up????

I hope this is not posted elsewhere. I went to a parts website I just started punching in spring numbers and this is what I came up with. It may be right and helpful and it may not. I just changed the last number up and down until it showed no results not real scientific but it may be right. If not comment and I'll take it down. I don't want anyone to be mislead. If you can add anything please do.
Front spring lowest to highest number is...
68253657AC I would guess going by last gen JK spring ratings by numbers this is the softest front spring for JL
68253664AC
(also noted this number replaces 68253657AA and AB not sure what difference is between AA/AB/AC at the end of the spring number?)
Rear spring lowest to highest number is...
68253586AA as above I would guess this is the softest rear spring.
68253592AA

Thanks!
P.S. These are factory numbers for factory springs for anyone looking for a poor man's lift by changing springs.

Hey guys, to add to the confusion my spring part numbers are as follows for a 2 door sport, 3.6L manual with soft top. **yes the front springs are the same**

FL 68250228AC
FR 68250228AC
RL 68249108AA
RR 68249109AA

I have just acquired rubicon take offs from a 2 door, 2.0L automatic with hard top and tow package. The springs are as follows.

FL 68250230AC
FR 68250231AC
RL 68249114AA
RR 68249115AA

I really have no idea whats going on with the numbering system for springs as when I look on moparpartsonline I only see 68250 numbers for front springs no matter what trim I select. I can't seem to find these 68253 numbers people are posting. Unless its some sort of superseded part number thing...

I have a 2019 2 door 6 cyl/auto Rubicon with hard top and tow package. It has the same spring codes as the Rubicon you listed. I wonder if they changed the codes for the 2019 model year ?
