What happens here

Carefully position the new, taller coil springs into their proper location. A helpful tip demonstrated is to temporarily secure the spacer to the top of the coil spring using zip ties before installation. This converts them into a single unit, significantly simplifying the process of aligning and seating them within the spring perch. The axle's height may need to be adjusted further with the floor jack or pulled to gain enough clearance and align the springs correctly. Once in place, the zip ties can be cut.

Goal: Securely install the new, taller coil springs and any associated spacers.

Tools and materials

  • Floor Jack Compac — Adjusting axle height for spring installation
  • New Coil Springs RBP — Providing the suspension lift
  • Spacers RBP — Providing additional lift or adjusting ride height
  • Zip Ties — Temporarily securing the spacer to the coil spring for easier installation

What they say

Hide

So, you got your spacer. I zip tie it to the coil so it's easier to set in there. You're having to try and hold the spring and hold that all in there. I just zip tie it in. It kind of stays all in there. It's a little easier. You pull down on the back for a little bit.
