If you checked the thread properly you would notice the disscussion here is about the springs only. The no. for the whole lift kit is clear, the coil numbering however isnt...

Would you happen to have some kind of install instructions, where there the part nos. are usually listed, or have you read the number of your coils?
I agree the front number doesn't match anything or even follow Eibach's coding format. I can't explain it, but those are the numbers on my springs.

I did find the instruction sheet and it lists the spring numbers, although different from what is actually on my Jeep.

But that just what I have been looking for - thank you. The numbers introduced in that sheet do match the numbers i got. Based on these I should be able to order the springs i require separately:-)

Nonetheless I would still like to know, what kind of springs are the ones that are beeing offered by some companies on the web as "Eibach 3.5 spring set":-)

Me too. I would hate to buy those and then the 3.5 is for a 2 door and is only a 2.5 on a stock 4 door... then you add bumpers, winch and full spare and you are in a world of hurt.

I know this thread is old but I ended up going with Rock Krawler triple rate coils after doing some research. Clayton seemed good too but I got a good deal on the rock krawlers. I know this thread turned into an Eibach serial number nightmare, which kinda turned me away from them. Just thought I would post what was chosen, thanks for all the info and help guys.

Just ordered them, be here in a few days. I will take pictures and measurements before and after. I will post them for all to see and we can all decide on stance. I will let yall know about the ride. To be honest, I don't think it will be hard to be an improvement to what I am running now.

Thanks, Great choice! You will like the on road ride quality that they give you. Also you won't have any sagging or settling issues due to added weight.

In the end it came down to searching this and other jeep forum (sorry guys, just want as much info as possible before pulling the trigger lol) for reviews and final actual ride height with a loaded JK like mine. Don't worry RK, I assume all responsibility for my Franken-lift. Just happy to have a better quality coil. Now the hard part... Counting days till delivery.
