Hello everyone. I am curious to if anyone can lead me in the right path with this question. I have a 2008 jeep patriot that the rear springs sagged. I am aware that a FDII was made. 1st question is that did the FDII exist in 2008? second question is that are the springs different? and third, does anyone know a VIN number or a Part number if they are a heavier spring.
And my patriot was Canadian built.. Don't know if that changes anything

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Nathan.B

I am wondering if the monroe struts remedy the sagging spring syndrome on the older patriots since the monroe struts lifted the back of my 2011 a bit ?

Hey guys, just a suggestion and I think it would be in your best interest that if you are gonna take the time to swap out coil springs, may as well buy new struts as well. A set of standard springs out of any 2011-up 4x4 would work for you as well.They would be the same as any fdii model made from 2010-down.There is a set for sale in the outpost section.

Do both at the same time so that you only need an alignment once! :)
