I figured out a good easy way to put coil springs in by myself. I used the bottle jack that came with the Jeep...........put it in between the axle and frame while I had the floor jack under the other end.

Took it to the gas station. 75$ ouch. Then it died driving it home. Limped to Autozone and got the codes read. Camshaft sensor... lame. So hopefully it is just the cam and not the cheap autozone crank I just changed.

I put gas in it. Got 16.4mpg on my last tank which was 90% highway. For a stock Jeep on street tires that is pretty bad.
