Default Adding .5" spacers to teraflex 2.5" coil lift question...

Finally getting ready to install my bumper and winch up front on my 2.5" coil lifted JKU Rubi 6 Speed. I am looking at installing the teraflex .5" coil spacers to keep it level after adding the 170lbs to the front and I have a quick question...

Do I need to disconnect the swaybars again when I put the spacers in? Or can I just disconnect the brake line brackets and shocks to let the axle drop? Trying to make this as quick and painless as possible, and it seems like it would be an easy job to pull the springs if you can just drop the axle far enough by removing only 2 shock bolts and 2 brake bracket bolts.

No u will have to disco the bottom bolt on sway bar links or disconect if u have quick discos. I dont think the axle will drop far enough. U may even have to remove axle side bolt from track bar as well.

there's really no easy way around this and you will essentially need to go through the same process that you went through when you first installed your lift.
