I think I failed to disconnect something, help please
Working on front coil spring replacement. I've disconnected the sway bar links and the shock absorber. I know there must be something else, but not that familiar with exactly what some of the parts are called.
Here's a picture showing what I've done so far. Couldn't get 1 bolt out of the driver side shock bottom so I took the top nuts off instead. Much easier if not changing the shocks.
Springs should be here tomorrow, and new sway bar links next week. The busted spring, over time, looks like it ruined the opposite sway bar link.

Here's what the 1999 XJ UpCountry springs look like next to my 1993 ZJ stock springs. Should be able to fit them in. I pray that it doesn't sit lower than before.
Going out to install them now. Wish me luck.
Big thanks to Nemx735 also!

Thanks for the suggestion freegdr, but I didn't want to mess around with the rusted bolts until it's time to replace stuff.
Check this out. I took the jack out of the back seat and put it upside down in between the the axle and the frame member, while I had the floor jack under the other side, and they went right in easy.

Everything seemed to reach that far ok. I pulled out a couple of the rubber grommet things before I did it.
