Diesel suspension parts the same as gas gladiators?

[TNJeeper]

Hey guys. I am sorry if this question has been posed and I have missed it.
Are the shocks/springs on the Diesel Gladiators the same as the Gas engine gladiators?
If I order a diesel sport s, can I put shocks and springs on from a gas gladiator rubicon?

Thank you

No. The diesel engine is much heavier than the gasser.

Springs are stiffer. Best to find a set of diesel Rubicon springs. If your run the gasser springs it might sit a little lower.

Will the RD springs give me a little lift?
I thought i read somewhere that the diesel JTs all have rubicon springs.
Thank you.

Hadn't heard that about all diesels having Rubi springs. Best to do a little research into the spring numbers before buying a set.

I installed a regular 2.5" lift meant for a gasser on a Diesel JL. I don't like how it sits and I'm redoing it.. The springs also bow out. The springs and shocks on a diesel are much firmer. If you put normal gasser suspension on you'll bottom out much quicker.

That is good real world data. Thank you for sharing.

I purchased a set of diesel Rubicon springs and the part numbers (in the front) matched what was already on my diesel Willys.

This is what i have heard as well. I guess if we want suspension lift, we have to go aftermarket. I noticed the 2 inch mopar lift on the mopar website said the application for their lift was for the 3.6 gas and the 3.0 ecodiesel. They must be firmer springs to accomodate the diesel set up. I know people have had no problems fitting 35s on the 3.6 set up. I need to research people fitting them on the ecodiesel without lift.

35s (315s) fit just fine, within the wheel wells, it's the rubbing at lock that will get you.
