Spacer install

Is there any easy way to install coil spacers? I installed a warn m8000 and now my front sags a little bit. I ordered 3/4 inch spacers, and was wondering what the easiest install method would be. Thanks, Troy.

easiest and only way I think:

Dis-connect front swaybar
Jack Jeep up and put jackstands on frame behind the lower control arms
Remove tire/wheels
Unbolt bottom of shock
Put jack under oppsite side of axle, and jack up the axle, like a flex which will cause the other side to drop more.
Pull spring out, take bump stop out
Put spacer on and put bump stop back on and put everything back together. Do the other side..

Took me about 1hr to do the front of my 2" BB.....

Did I forget anything?

I had shocks removed to do my 2" BB...

but, I swapped springs a couple weeks after that, and did NOT remove or even unhook the bottoms of the shocks...

you will have to use the "jack up one side" method that way, or else get a loaner coil spring compressor from your local parts store...

you oughta be able to do it all in less than an hour...even if you unhook the bottom of the shocks (it's the top attachement that's a pain in the ....)
