Unbolting the trackbar, and unbolting the brake retainer should be enough droop to pop out the springs to insert the wedges, right?

 

Actually I don't remember having to disconnect the TB. I don't remember doing that. But I also had to remove wheels/tires to allow the axle assy to droop far enough down to pop out the springs.

 

Last time I messed with my rear springs I had to use jack stands to support the vehicle. If you are using stands then you need to remove the rear wheels. If you are on a lift then you can leave the wheels on. After that:

Disconnect swaybar links

Disconnect brakelines from frame so they can droop

Disconnect shocks from axle

And in my case disconnect spring retainers.

Depending in which control arms you have you might have to loosen them a bit if the above doesn't get you there. I had to loosen mine, but I am using stock arms.

 

When I installed the lift, everything was disconnected so that made it easy. Just trying to think of the least amount to take apart to install.

 

Just curious as to why your putting wedges on. Thanx

 

Springs bow out.

 

When you lift the Jeep the coils will have a arch like this ) and when the spring wedge is in there it will straighten the spring out like this l

All you should have to do is take the shock off. I put jack stands under the frame and then drop the axle down. I took out my springs to make it easier so i wouldnt have to wrestle with holding the spring while putting the wedge in. It should take no longer than an hour to install.

 

I actually have spring compressors which help a lot. They are a bit more work but I don't disconnect the entire suspension.

 

I just ordered the Max Travel kit. Do i need these wedges? do they come with the kit? do you need them on the front and back?

 

You will only need these wedges when you adjust the pinion angle. Or at least thats the way it was for me.
