As stated on the
previous page before
beginning any project make sure you have the tools and
capability to safely perform the tasks. Read all
directions and follow safe garage habits, use
jack stands and proper
safety wear. We followed the directions from TeraFlex,
we also added some tips and steps along the way, they will be
marked with a the word TIP.
After properly
jacking up the Jeep remove the tires. Remove the upper
shock bolts. TIP: Disconnect the sway bar
at the axle bolt (see below) this will allow greater
movement of the axle. Be careful not to over stretch
the brake and/or the anti-lock wiring. TIP: The
parking brake cables are supported on hooks attached to the
bottom of the body, before lowering the axle pull the cables
from the hook, this will allow the axle to lower further.
Also, pull the axle vent hose off the axle, it will probably
pull itself off anyway. Unbolt the brake line clip.
Lower the axle.

Remove the rear springs.
Install the spring isolator onto the coil spacer.
Place the spacer onto the top of the spring and reinstall.
TIP: A coil spring compressor would make it
easier here. The rear springs were a lot tougher to
install than the front. We did it using a good pry
bar, long screw driver, and a few blocks of wood. Be
careful and keep your fingers out of the way. Install
the upper shock adapter.

Check
everything, raise the axle, reattach the sway bar, and put
the parking brake cables back on the hooks. Install
the brake line extensions. Install the bump stop
spacer. Double check everything and reinstall the
wheels.

Test drive the Jeep, TeraFlex
recommends having the Jeep's alignment checked and re-torque
the bolts after 300 miles.
