I keep reading higher number on passenger side. Then I read this on RUBITRUX sight.

I think they're incorrect. Passenger side is always higher - at least with the 3.6L. Never heard of a case where driver side had a higher number.

I think they're wrong as well. Like they assume odd #'s left and even on the right.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
So your DR (driver rear?) is already a Half an inch higher than your PR (passenger rear?) and you want to put a higher spring on the driver side?
Hadn't had my morning coffee yet :(
No, I think I'll leave it only 1/2" off lol :)

And my 2#s higher spring in front being on the passenger side and I'm level up front does mean the taller spring should be on the passenger side :)

So if I had a 90/92 that would seem to be the ticket for a level set all around, at least for my 2dr Sport w/ hardtop, V6, AT, and plastic bumpers all around :)

Looking good Jake, ready for some huge tires now :)
Did you add the longer LCAs too?

Have you had some extended time running at hwy speeds? That's where the decreased caster rears its ugly head :(

Report out: Here's my Sport S w/ Rubicon suspension (highest number springs) and 3/4 inch Daystar spacers next to a Gladiator with the Mopar lift and 35x12.50's. Also I put the Mopar lift lower control arms on. I'm still on my 31x10.50's... the Rubicon suspension especially the shocks give a sportier feel without giving up anything on open road cruising plushness. Tom

Here's mine - 59/60 front and 91/92 rear. Keep in mind I have 120+ lbs of audio in the trunk, so this combo without the weight would probably not work without serious rake... And I did the Fox shocks.

It handles soooooo much better. It's firmer, but still smoother over rough patches. It doesn't lean nearly as much in turns and doesn't move much on braking and acceleration...
