Do the spring insulators tear when changing the coil springs?



Thanks


Not by just changing the springs, but they do wear with time/distance. It’s wise to change them if your putting in a lift or changing springs as they’ll be good for years then.

My standard answer for any parts like that is always www.rockauto.com they have a good range , good prices, fast service. I get my parts faster from them than I can locally.

Now looking at the diffs on the jeep... Are they strong enough to do this? I'm used to seeing a fully cast one piece house. The jeep looks like a cast pumpkin and screwed or welded in axle tubes?

I see where you place the stands/hoist. Not used to not seeing chassis rails lol.

Thanks,
Shane
Hi shane, how big is your lift kit?
