‰ 2. PREPARE UPPER SPRING MOUNT
On Wrangler TJ and Grand Cherokee ZJ models,
the bump stop holder is secured to the upper spring
mount with a single bolt that is accessible once the
rubber bump stop is removed.
On some Cherokee XJ and Comanchee MJ mod-
els, however, the bump stop holder is welded to the
spring mount. Specific instructions are provided for
vehicles with weld-on bump stop holders.

MJ models utilize welded bump stop holders
which must be cut and removed according to the
following instructions.
For removal of bolt-on bump stop holder:
 Pry the rubber bump stop (jounce bumper) free
from the bump stop holder.
 Locate and remove the bolt that secures the bump
stop holder to the upper spring mount. Remove
the bump stop holder and spacer (if equipped)
from the upper spring mount.
 Remove the rubber isolator pad from the upper
spring mount.
For removal of weld-on bump stop holder:
 Pry the rubber bump stop (jounce bumper) free
from the bump stop holder.
 Locate the flat washer that is welded to the spring
mount inside the bump stop holder.
 Measure the distance between the bottom of flat
washer and the lower edge of bump stop holder.
Transfer the position of the flat washer to the out-
side of bump stop holder.
