Well, I wonder if the 2dr and 4dr have the same front springs. I saw a write up on how to install the spacer and it stated that when you put the frame on jackstands, unbolted the shocks and then let the axle down (after removing the wheels) that at full droop the springs would be able to be removed without any trouble. Well, at full droop (with the shocks removed) I still had to compress the springs about 2 inches to get them out.

Whoops, I made a mistake. The tire size is 285 70 17 (not 75). No rubbing at all since the wheel offset is different than stock. That is the key to avoiding rubbing (i.e. more offset or use wheel spacers).

No, but I guess I should have. The write up that I read said that you only needed to disconnect the lower shock mounts to get full droop but I should have thought about the sway bar too. So, maybe the 2dr and 4dr are identical after all. Thanks!

Yeh, the sway bars need diconnected. Mine came right out. We had a little trouble getting the larger coils in (had to use some pry bars) but still did it without spring compressors.
