"Springing over the axle" typically refers to a suspension setup in vehicles, particularly in off-roading contexts. It means that the leaf springs are mounted above the axle rather than below it, which can provide greater ground clearance and improve articulation for better off-road performance. This setup can enhance the vehicle's ability to navigate rough terrain by allowing for more suspension travel and reducing the risk of bottoming out. However, it may also affect the vehicle's ride quality and handling characteristics on paved roads.

How many inches of block lift can be put on an 1988 Jeep Comanche without modifying brake lines or suspension etc?
None. The Comanche uses a spring under axle setup and blocking the axle would lower the vehicle. However, if you can use a torch and weld, you can cut your spring mounts, do some grinding and relocate them to the topside of the axle housing, and turn it into a spring over axle setup, giving you about 4.5in. of lift in the rear.

How do you do a spring over on a suzuki samurai?
To perform a spring over on a Suzuki Samurai, you'll need to relocate the leaf springs above the axle instead of below it. This involves removing the existing spring mounts, flipping the leaf springs, and possibly modifying or fabricating new spring perches. Be sure to account for changes in ride height and axle alignment, and consider upgrading other components like shocks and driveshafts to accommodate the new setup. This modification enhances ground clearance and articulation, improving off-road capability.

How do you change a rear coil spring on a 1998 Kia Sportage?
Jack up the rear of the vehical and support it on jack stands from the FRAME, not the axel. From here, there are two possible choices. If the old spring is broken, simply pull it out by hand, if it hasn't already fallen out. To install the new spring, either use spring compressors (typically used for struts) to compress the new spring down enough to fit between the axle and the frame, or remove the shock on the side you are working on, while supporting the axle with a jack. Once the shock is removed (it is only necessary to remove 1 end), lower the axle enough using the jack to allow the new spring to fit. Raise the axle in place, reinstall the shock, and lower the vehicle .
