I have a 1995 Jeep Wrangler, and I'm in the process of selling it, but in order to pass inspection it needs the front leaf springs replaced. I'm kindof a scratch mechanic if you will but I'm wondering if this is a task I would be able to do, so I could save several hundred dollars. It's a 2.5L 4cyl. With over 160K miles and it's a YJ. Thanks

If your new to it do one at a time so you don't do more harm than good. If you have a compressor and air tools, and a axcetylene torch would be nice, It's pretty staightforward. Disconnect the shock then get the brake line floating. If it's on you axle, then undo the shackles! Reverese to reinstall.

I don't have all those tools, should I invest in air tools? I'm not much of a torch user. I thought 4 bolts on the axle, and one on each end of the springs, sounds pretty easy, I just don't want to start something that is going to turn into a disaster.
