@am1978 found a similar link indicating a part number change…
https://www.moparpartsinc.com/p/SUSPENSIO-LIFT/95988376/77072469AC.html
I asked Benny from all Mopar parts.com if he had any light to shed on this.

Benny wrote back on the other thread, probably nothing unique to the diesel. It’s probably a change/difference in supplier for any random part, e.g. the bolts.

People appears to too often get hung up over a suffix change, especially only the last letter.
Those are normally meaningless to the operation of anything. It could be supplier, could be finish, could be some rib added to some minor part.
VERY unlikely it's a change that anyone should care about, very unlikely to be a spring rate change of any consequence at all - if they'd even do that on a minor suffix change like from AC to AD.
If there are real changed, you get a real part number change, not a suffix change. Or it might go from AA to BB if it's going to require a different bolt or something. Maybe a change from fine threads to course threads, maybe a bolt is 2mm longer, meaning no real impact on anyone or anything at all.
But minor suffix changes aren't worth 'searching the world over' for.
In the end all that you will get will be AD and no more AC as the parts get flushed from the channel via attrition.
It's not going to be anything large if they follow like the industry has for decades.
Anything with a large impact won't be a superseded part like AC to AD - it will be a different part meaning different part number. And major change would impact non-diesel users......... very unlikely to happen.
It's a suffix change - not a part number change. One has been superseded by the other but change control and tracking for the industry requires the suffix be changed.

Your points are noted. This being said, according to Jeep that is monitoring this forum, a correction is being made to the stock Rubicon Diesel and should be issued 1st quarter 2022.
My asking was an attempt to identify what may be actually changing to the lift kit as to maybe identify what’s coming in the first quarter. There’s definitely an issue with the front suspension systems on stock Rubi diesel models. At this point it’s actually preventing me from mods as I don’t want to change anything before it’s been addressed.
