homemade leveling

[ItsA5Spd]

I got the washers to level my 96. I just have a few quick questions. Is the coil seat bolt the one on the front of the axle directly underneath the spring? Also, will I need to take the tires off to do this? Last, do I just unbolt it, let the axle drop, put the washers in and bolt it back up? Pictures would be great. Thanks!

You need to disconnect the sway bar link and the shock absorber on the side you are working on.
The tire needs to be off to make the job easier.
Put several jackstands under the frame.

ok, so it is the bolt on the front side of the axle? Looks to be 1" or so? All in all how long should this take? I have pretty good mechanical ability.

1-1/8"

Shouldn't take more than a couple hours, not including any complications rust may bring.

Washers (or spacer) goes here:
