How to install universal coil spring spacers

Your vehicle will be less confident on the road. We have added coil spring spacer installation instructions for your convenience. The steps are given in step by step. Use the jack to lift your vehicle to a workable height. Now lose all the nuts of the wheel. Remember to lose nuts at a time. Do not open the wheel. Repeat the process of losing all the lug nuts of the four wheels.

Then use a frame to raise your vehicle. Use factory-made lift pads to lift your vehicle. This is to avoid damaging your vehicle components. Remember not to keep the jack in an axel as it will be necessary to swing the suspension freely.

Place the jack stands under a frame. This is to give support and low your vehicle. Furthermore, the jack stands will be useful to elevate the axle. Place the jack under the axle to raise it.

This will balance some overall weight. Moreover, it will keep the suspension damage free of damage. This is because the shaft is freely hanging. Remember, you had loosened all the lug nuts of the tire.

Now what you will do is remove the tires. Make sure that the axel is held lightly by the jack. Remove the cotter pin from the sway bar nut. Now remove the screws of the castle nut from the ending link of the sway bar. Disconnect the sway bar link using a hammer. Also, use a ball and joint separation tool.

Use a spring compressor to protect the spring. Now lose the components. Before doing so, detach the coil retainers. Lower the axle. Be careful not to fall off the jack. Now insert the coil spacer on the top of the spring. Raise the jack slowly so that the spring spacer comes in contact with the frame plus the axle. You will need the jack to raise the axle when you put everything back together. Place jack under the axle and raise it until it's bearing some weight. This will prevent damage to suspension components when the axle is hanging free.

Make sure the axle is firmly supported by the jack, as damage may occur to other components if it slips. Unbolt the shock absorbers from the axle. Some find it more convenient to unbolt the shocks from the frame, but generally it's best to have them hanging out of the way under the vehicle. Use ball-joint separation tool and hammer to remove the sway bar link, if required. Generally, the link will come off with the tap of a hammer.

Use spring compressor to secure spring before loosening any components. Make sure the spring compressor is secure on the coils, or severe injury may result. You may have to unbolt the coil spring retainers from one or both sides of the coil spring before compression, depending on the make and model.

If you need to hold the spacer in place while mounting, grasp it around the sides, and never near the top. This will greatly reduce the risk of injury of the compressor fails during installation. Re-attach coil spring retainers once you are able to do so.

The front arms will keep your alignment straight. Extended length shock absorbers will allow additional travel and are also recommended when lifting.
