I need to get one or the other. I think it would be impossible to get those poly spacers in there without using a wall mounted spring compressor. I had a hell of a time just getting the rusty's springs compressed enough to get the top strut plate on. One of these days i'm gonna get those strut plates for the front to level it out since it put an extra isolator in the rear.

If you want a RL rear bumper then you will want the rear poly spacers. Hint Hint. :wink:

I think he's talking about the front poly spacers rusty sells. The ones that go between the front strut and the spring.

To tell you the truth i dont' know. I have a 3 ring clevis lift with the rusty's lift and also one extra isolator in the rear. It sits pretty close to level. The front is a little lower but i think if i put those strut plates in it might level it perfect or make the front sit a little higher. Right now i've pretty much lost interest in modding the kj. Too busy trying to sell my stupid condo and looking for a house.

You can try the plates they're easy to take out if you don't like them compared to those poly spacers where you would have to disassemble the entire strut again. What a pita that is.
