Better off to take them to a shop, portable spring compressor is too dangerous for these springs. Not worth the risk.Spring compressor from Autozone should work? If I rent one?
NO do not try it with themSpring compressor from Autozone should work? If I rent one?
I was also wondering about this hockey puck thing that is mentioned, in another thread, I believe?NO do not try it with them
Thank you do much for explaining that...now I understandThe hockey pucks get bolted to the lower spring perches in the rear. That way your stock bump stops above have something at the right height to sit down on when loaded/flexing. It will save your fender flares and prevent you from blowing out your shocks by topping them out. To bolt the pucks on, put the Jeep on jack stands on the frame rails under the rear doors, rear tires removed. Jack up one side of the rear axle. The side that droops should come down far enough to get the spring out, either by hand or with a pry bar. (May have to disconnect sway bar links… also careful not to mac out your brake line hoses.) Drill the center of the steel perch and the center of 2 hockey pucks per side. Put the pucks into the spring, then put the spring back in place. Bolt them down afterwards with a grade 8 or stainless bolt, washer, and a nylon lock nut. You should be able to hold the nut under the perch with a box wrench and turn the bolt with a ratchet from above, inside the spring. Snug it up and then repeat the process on the other side.
Awesome.Thank you do much for explaining that...now I understand
