Can anyone tell me what is involved in installing 2" coil spacers? Also, if I want to install longer shocks, what size do I look for? Are they usually listed as being longer for this applications?
It's really quite easy. All you need is a jack and a couple of jackstands. When you buy the kit (mine was Daystar), it comes with good instructions that are easy to follow. It sounds hard at first, but once you dig into it, it becomes quite easy. Pretty much just disconnect the sway bars, control arms, and shocks, and slowly lower the axle, take out the spring, put in the spacer and the new bump stops, then hook everything back up. Just make sure you jack the jeep reall high to allow room for the diff to come down.
It is pretty easy it should take about 3 hrs to complete. if you have someones help you won't need to disconnect the upper track arms. do yourself a favor and put in the 2" in the rear and the 3" in the front. Then you can run the long travel Rancho 5000's, through in some quick disconnects for the sway bar and you will be amazed at the flex and suspension travel that you will get. Also before you start check both front springs and make sure that they both have hold down clips. Jepps forgot to put one in on most jeeps. It varies from side to side. It is a dealer only part. If you need any tech advise call me at 315-697-6211 Mon-Sat 9-6 est. ask for Darrin I've put in about 15 of these set ups. We have all of these parts in stock constantly.
