My searching here and on the interweb has failed me.
I'm looking to replace my stock rear leafs on my 96 XJ.
My build sheet says AWE Up Country Suspension Group.
The parts catalogue lists codes such as ZVS, ZGS, ZVT ,ZGT and so on.
These codes are not on my build sheet...so where does one find these codes?
Are they stamped on the springs?
Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. 
NewKindofClown hit pretty close, and I guess I wasn't clear in my post.
My question is really two fold.
1. Where do you find the ZVS, ZGS, ZVT ,ZGT and so on...is it stamped on the springs? Is it on a body tag that I have not found yet? It's not on my build sheet, door tag or owners manual.
2. At 219,000 miles my 96 XJ is a survivor. Still bone stock (read: SE stock, nothing but the essentials) and the rear is only sagging about an inch from where it should be. I want to put it back to where the factory had it...so I am trying to get the correct springs for it.
The parts catalogue and online web sites all list those "Z" codes but I don't know where to match those codes to my vehicle.

Just for clarification- do you have the UC package? Skid plates and a d35 with LSD?
With regular maintenance she'll got to 300k. I'll bet it runs pretty smooth!
Here is a more relevant link. I think it will clarify more about what the product numbers and codes are, as well as the ZVS, etc. codes.
04 Jeep Cherokee larado, 4.0 stalls while driving down the road. it will start right up after you stop rolling or in neutral.
have replaced PCM, spark plugs , gas cap, Camshaft Pos Sensor. only codes are 1394(EVAP) and 0320 Crankshaft ref signal at PCM.
thx for any help

Would someone post a picture of a 242 transfer case stock linkage assembly in the 2 wheel drive position, please?
Im having issues with reinstalling it after I removed the linkage to replace my flexplate. I dont know if I have the metal tab on the TC itself right.

OK, sorry for the lame response earlier. Idk where to find code on the leaf itself. I think it's more of a part number for cataloguing inventory. I don't think it's listed in build sheet as such.

Those letters are the Chrysler sales codes.

Look through this giant list you'll find them - for what it's worth.
See if these sales codes appear on your build sheet.
