Default BB install help!!!

I bout a PROTHANE 2" coil spacer lift with extended bump stops for my 07 Sahara. It comes with no instructions and the company said they do not have any either. So any help would be great.

Yep, use any of the suspension write-ups. They all use basically the same steps. Jack it up, disconnect stuff, pull the coil out, put the spacer on top and re-install. The front bumpstops go inside the coils, so be sure to remember that step.

The spacer should install the same.

Will my old bump stop go into my new one like on the guide? Which spacers go in the front and which go in the back. I am assuming the taller ones go in the front.

sorry for all the stupid questions I thought it would at least come with some instructions. Do all coil spring lift use the old spacer as well?

Yes, taller in front - that gets rid of the 'stock' front rake.

Depends on whether you got upper or lower bumpstops. Uppers you may need some grease and a jack to get them in place, lowers you will need to drill and tap a hole. You can find pics and steps for both in those write-ups.

Here is a pic of the parts I think they are upper.

Had to retype this, you posted a pic while I was typing.

The two with the "cone" tops go in the rear, the other two in the front. Put the rubber isolator that's above the stock spring goes under the spacer, and on top of the spring.
