Default stock bump stops

The bump stops on my 94 Cherokee are totally missing. I would like to replace them. Does anyone know if the springs have to be removed to put new ones in? Also, do these screw in are they press fit?

Are you talking about the rear ones or the front? In the rear you don't have to mess with the leaf springs but in the front you have to take the coil out

Not necessarily. Jack up the jeep and force the bump stop through the coil.

^^This is how I did mine. Yes you do have to force them a little to get the through the coil but it is do-able. And forcing the through does take a little work. But it is a lot easier then removing the coils.

Easiest way is to take the coil springs out imo. You can get them out without taking the springs out, but I find its almost as quick and easier to just take the springs out. Then the bumpstops screw out, and new one screw back on, throw the springs back in, and you're ready to go again.

Yes you can wiggle them out with the coil on there but, I agree with kirknd4spd on just popping the coil out.
