Ok so I need a guess as to how long it wil take me to do the gaskets in my jeep its a 4 cy I don't think they have ever been done I ordered a full upper and lower set and was thinking I would wait to put my new water pump in till I got them or would it be better to wait till its warmer cause I do not have anywhere inside to work and its starting to get cold outside and all.

That is AirCruiser's jeep. Sadly, it was totaled last year, around this time. Some lady cut him off while he was Christmas shopping and he rolled it.

Here is the part number 55000302. I just ordered one from here last night http://www.oconeeoffroad.com/servlet...5000302/Detail

Like 6 bucks. Would rather pay 6 some bucks then do a diy. just my opinion.

How do you get the front axle to droop far enough to install two inch coil spring spacers?

Disconnected the shocks, & jack up one side. take the coil out, put the spacer in put the coil in. You might need a coil compressor btw

I've done this, you will need coil compressors.let the shocks loose put jack stands under the body, let the front end droop all the way down on your jack to the floor. Then coil compress until you can pull springs out then put your spacers in. I put 2" Daystars on mine. Good luck, it's a pretty simple job.

I wouldn't do it, due to my personal preference. I don't know about the technical side of things.
