Adding two rear rubber spring isolators to the top of the rear springs. Wondering if anyone that does this for a bit extra lift has had any problems like:

Squishy Ride?
Shifting Isolators?
Loosing any Isolators?

Nope, nope, and nope.

I have extra 2 in my 02 and extra 3 in my 06. No issues

No problems for me either.
Not sure what shocks you have or plan to install, just make sure they have enough length for the added lift.
My rear shocks seem to rattle a bit. They are bolted in tight but I guess I should have added some sort of spacer or washer to fill the gap between the bushing sleeve and mounting bracket.

I have the longer OME shocks in the rear (have an OME CRD Lift). Just adding a small 3 conduit clevis lift and two extra rear spacers. I also added JBA UCAs up front for a bit more clearance and better alignment.

All the lifts I've done had extra upper rear isolators installed with no issues
The way it is designed there is a ring that holds the uppers in so no way really for them to fall out unless the isolator is damaged somehow
Never had any squishy feeling either with them
