My brake lines are tight and still can't get enough droop to remove the front spring. What am I doing wrong here? The sway link is disconnected and the bottom of the shock. I can droop it more but the brakes lines are at the limit.

 

Looks like you need to unbolt it from the frame! It's the silver bracket with one bolt.... 8 or 10mm I believe.

 

I searched every single thread about installing front spacers before I started. I don't have a spring compressor so I'm doing it per the teraflex directions and the way others have. I don't know what to do about the brake lines to get more droop.

 

unbolt brake line retainer and abs line retainer you may have to pry down with a large bar jus make sure your lines arent strained mine was the same way also be careful underneath there

 

Ok, that will give me more slack?

 

Yes!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks everyone going out to take another try at it.

 

That was the best tip, never mentioned in the instructions or the threads I read gave me plenty of room to get out the spring. Thanks again.

 

I just recently installed 1" TF spacers to level the Jeep. The springs came out W/out the need to use spring compressors. Aside from what you mentioned already I also:

-unbolted the brake line bracket from the frame.
-unbolted the brake line bracket from the axle, you also have to remove that bracket from the axle
-unhook the ABS line from the hub (2ea)
-remove the breather hose from the differential side.
-If you have a Rubi, be careful as you lower the axle because you may over stretch the locker wire/line at the differential.

Good luck. Keep us updated.

 

I breezed through the other front spacer, and pretty good on the drivers rear - got stuck for hours on the pass rear...ugg will post about the horrible experience in another thread!
