I need new leaf springs and I am headed to the JY by my place. I was wondering if there were any markings I could look for that would help me identify a lift.

coil spring color can be helpful....Rubicon Express coils are silver, Rough Country are Charcoal, and most others are black....shocks may also be a clue but not a dead give-away

some rear springs come with a degree shim on them, the shim is between the bottom leaf and the perch on the axle. look at ZJ's too you can use their front springs. also look for other non stock parts on the suspention (control arms, spacers).
