2004 Jeep TJ front coil spring removal and spacer install

[@ruggedindsoup2135]

It’s easier for everyone watching if you put the spring compressor info and maybe a link in the description. Thanks for the vid.

Yep this guy is a hack with a cutting torch and a hammer.

[@smichaelR22]

i have many hammers for different jobs, i dont have cutting torches, but i do have to hypertherm plasma cutters.

[@smichaelR22]

if you listen, i say there is a bolt i could take off, but they are usually rusted in my area. how many times i have broken or struggled with that bolt, after digging out 3" of sand and mud to get to it. then it breaks, then what. you need to fix/replace. walking over to get a flat blade screw driver and pry it on saved me probably 30 min of struggle. this is called the easy way of experience. thanks for comments though.

Wheel off Undo lower sway bar ,undo upper shock gently prise the spring out ,loosen rear control arm to chassis bolt because height change loads up the bush ,retighten when back on ground 15 minutes per side spring compressor not needed , I think you made the job harder for yourself

[@smichaelR22]

If you live in a part of the country where you can take a TJ shock off in less than 15min with out a plasma cutter, good for you. Here in NY, you cant from salt/ corrosion. I have done this hundreds of times, and this is what works best and fastest for me in this case.

@@smichaelR22 so true

[@tedc6694]

in other videos people take off what the spring originally pushes against at the top, and they install the spacer above that. you have the spring in direct contact with the new spacer instead. why do you think there's a difference procedure?

[@smichaelR22]

we wanted to raise the front of the jeep exactly .75" and added the new spacer (or isolator) in this case. I did not remove the original spacer as to not reduce the amount of total change. Obviously you dont want to stack spacers if they are the 2" ones over getting correct longer spring, but stacking 1/2" or 3/4" isolators is fine when looking for small leveling changes in my opinion.
