I have a 98 XJ and am adding 2" spacers. Do the bump stops just pull out. Does this help to take the springs out to add the spacers?

Yes they just pull out and yes it can make the job a little easier.

Especialy if you try to put them in after the spring is in the way.

As long as you have a good pry bar handy it is not hard at all. But if all you are adding is 2" pucks to a stock suspenion thier shouldn't be a need to remove them all.

I used a big flathead screwdriver to pry the bumpstop out and against the installed spring to push the bumpstop back in. And yeah, you won't have to compress the spring nearly as far w/ the bumpstop out.
