I was wondering if anyone has done this before or has any theories on how it could be done. The front of my jeep is slightly lower than the back and the back has had plenty of time to sag. I would like to add an extra coil spacer to bring it up a little. I can take them out as i already did to do my budget boost, but if there is a way I can me lazy and do it fast that would be great.

I have thought about trying to slip it in and twist it up the spring but at the end the spring closes. I do not have the coil isolators yet but are the stock ones flexible enough to cut through and twist them to the point that you can slip them over the shaft that holds the bump stop?

Just curious and didn't see a post about it.

Thanks
Ben

Go to advance auto and rent a spring compressor to remove the spring.

If i made one cut through I should be able to get it in there though. Arent they made of a hard rubber that I can bend to some extent to get it in and once its in there it wont get bent to a point were it will come out?

I just like the simplicity of it and ease.

Don't cut it

It gets its strength from being a complete piece

I just disco the shocks and swaybar and jack the body up till I can pry the coil out.

Thats a good way to make your local dental surgeon very happy. Use a spring compessor and save your teeth.

?? The way I'm talking only needs to compress the spring about 1". My local dental surgeon will not need to know me. Sorry you don't have droop.
OP's jeep isn't lifted very high so this method can probably work out.

I just flexed my Jeep tell the spring fell out of bucket... if u have short arms u have to disconnect the lca... in this pic if I unbolted the bottom spring holder I could get my spring out

Ok I will most likely just take the springs out I just wanted to see if I could do it effectively without. I like working smarter instead of harder but might as well do it the right way.

Thanks guys

The spring will just fall out, not shoot out ... this is a much safer method than a spring compressor

A spring compressor is way worse. It can do more then mess up your teeth. Best way just dis connect shocks and what not and jack up the front enough to take the coils out

Yeah spring compressors scare me. I want to get around using them when I install a lift.
