Getting my lift relatively soon, and i was just wondering, what all do i have to disconnect to allow myself to drop the front axle far enough to remove the coil and install the spacers and have room to get the coil back on?

 

Disconnect:

1.) Shocks at the bottom.
2.) Sway Bar Links.
3.) Track Bar.
4.) Drag Link (Possibly)

Depending on how thick the spacer is, you may have to end up using a coil spring compressor, anyway. We did for the 3 inch spacers we put in my son's XJ.

 

NO you dont need all that..

Unbolt upper shock mount


Unbolt lower sway bar end link ( soak with penetrating oil for a few days before hand, and spray once a day til you remove it)

THen jack the jeep up by the body as high as you can (think hi-lift jack)


that should give you enough room. If it doesn't jack the axle up in the center, and remove the tires and drop the axle down.

 

If you use a spring compressor you can probably get away with just disconnecting the swaybar links and shocks. When I did mine on top of 3.5" spring I also had to discon the LCA at the axel, didn't touch the TB or Drag link. Once I did the first side didn't need the compressor on the other.
