Tips on installing longer springs on a wrangler

[Jeep Dave]

Tomorrow I will be installing some +3 Inch springs in my Wrangler and need some tips to make the installation process a bit easier.

What should I avoid doing? Are they a pain to get in there?


Enlighten me with knowledge below!

The only thing I would suggest you do is use some spring compressors to shorten the spring just so they can slide in there. Other than that it is pretty much the same process as installing any type of suspension

It may also help to remove the shock absorbers first and then slowly let the axle drop to full extension with a jack supporting it underneath. This will give you the most space possible to fit the new spring.

Spring compressors wil scratch the spring, but I don't think it is too big of a problem. It will get bashed under there anyway
