Does anyone know if the front spring in a Rubicon diesel has a higher spring rate (stiffer) than the Gas spring or are they the same.

Facts only please, not my truck has this and his has that but they look the same. Too many variable and room for spectualation.

thanks in advance

You won't get a definite answer until someone climbs under each model and gets the numbers off the tags on the springs.

The springs are likely stiffer, since the diesel adds around 400 pounds to the front end.

I have no idea but I would imagine so due to the additional 400lbs of engine. If you or anyone else is looking for eco diesel sport suspension PM me. I have mine for sale currently :)

You can't order an ecodiesel with the tax tow package. (although I did order the tow package) But the ecodiesel truck comes with all the same heavy duty axles, etc as the max tow to help with the additional power.

Rubitrux confirmed that the springs are different.

I dont believe max tow is an option on a Rubicon diesel as when I ordered it there was no mention of it.
