Does anybody know if i would get any better lift/performance if i got ahold of a set of unlimited Sahara coils? i know the Rubicons are heavy duty and that, but i may have a set of unlimited Sahara coils available and i need to know if these coils would help me utilize my budget boost, (give me a little bit more of a lift) and if they would help my ride, since i'm using basic stock 2007 X suspension on my BB.
The person's jeep is a 2008 4 Door Sahara, hard top, He says YES he does have HD suspension and his fourth letter in his vin is G, so would these coils benefit my stock X suspension using this BB, and would it help the ride any, i realize new shocks will also help. i guess my question is, if i get his coils and shocks, would my rig sit a little higher and ride better?

Without the spring part numbers, can't tell. Need both from yours and the donor.

Set the spring upright on a flat surface and measure to the top coil on the Sahara springs.

52126315AB is 17 3/8"
52126316AB is 18 3/8"
52126317AB is 19 3/8"

Based on this pattern, my guess is your 13AB / 14AB setup is 15 3/8" and 16 3/8"

i was contacted by a guy with unlimited rubicon coils and shocks, his rubicon came with a hardtop, i'm waiting on his coils part numbers, to in theory- if i were to go from my coils and shocks, to his, as a result my jeep would sit a few inches higher than it did before, so since i have a 2.5" BB on my stock coils, and i put my BB on his rubicon coils, wouldn't i actually gain over 3-3.5" of lift? just to clafiry my thinking here.
given my coils are 15 3/8" and 16 3/8" going to his would be anywhere from 17 3/8" to 19 3/8"

and would his components make my jeep ride a little better?

Ok I have a 4dr X with tow package. I recently aquired springs from a Rubi owner. His jeep was topless so I am not sure what he had. The springs are 68004457 which I believe are the rears only one of the front springs has a tag on it that is 52126317AB. how do I figure out if this is the right or left spring?
