I just completed this exact same lift on my Cherokee this weekend, wanted another inch on top of the 3" lift I already have. Plan on stuff not going as expected. Bolts will be seized, springs will be very hard to get off, etc. I always start projects as an optomist, always end up getting bitched at by my wife for being in the garage 8 hours to one day longer than I told her. I used P. B. blaster, breaker bar to get shackle off at top mount to frame. Bolt was seized up at bottom of both shackles where it connects to leaf spring. Used lots of blaster, a 1" socket over hex end of bolt , and a very large C-clamp to push bolt out. At first when I finally did get the bolt to turn at the shackle/leaf spring area on both sides I realized very shortly that the metal bushing in the middle of the rubber bushing was just turning as well. Front; took my shocks completely off(makes getting the spring off much easier) , and disconnected the sway bar. With spring compressors the springs came off fairly easy. Disconnecting the driver side shock, one of the bolts busted at the bottom mount, trip to hardware store. Other side front, the retaining clip bolt stripped out the threads on the axle perch for the shock, drilled out hole, tapped for next size up metric bolt(10 x 1.25) and another trip to the hardware store. Don't do one side at a time, saves trips to hardware store. Get jack stands, you can get a pair cheap at any department store if there's no auto part shop near by! Also needed to post a thread on whether the spacers should fit as loose as they did, thanks for the replies, I'm pretty sure they're fine. Escaped to the computer since the wife's still bitching at me. How hard could a 1" budget boost be I think were my exact words to her.
