I assume that for the strut assembly for my OME lift I reuse the strut top plate, correct? Meaning there's no way to assemble them ahead of time while still driving my Jeep? But if I did I could purchase the Moog strut mounts? |

Some have bought new plates before to do theirs , make sure you also buy the lower isolator as well if you go that route |

I was just looking at some photos and saw a lower isolator that I hadn't seen referenced before. Do the stock ones usually hold up well? Meaning, I probably don't need to buy new ones just in case mine are shot? |

I was just referencing the fact that you were thinking about buying upper strut plates to assemble before you tore it down when I mentioned the lowers |

Thanks guys. I may just wait to assemble them until we're actually doing the install. Spending the extra money on new strut plates and spring isolators doesn't make sense at the moment. |

On second thought, if I can get some strut plates for a decent price then I may look into getting them assembled ahead of time. I assume these isolators from JBA are what I'd need. I believe I already bought at least 1 pair of these so I'd need another pair per the JBA website, right? http://jeepinbyal.com/liberty-2008-2012 ... lator.html And I could spring for these for the front? http://jeepinbyal.com/liberty-2008-2012 ... -side.html |

If you preassemble ahead of time, make sure you have the washer that goes on top of the strut mount. Otherwise the shock nut will pull through the bushing. |

Ok, thanks. Does this look like the washer you're referencing in this kit? http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Catal ... 0484386774 |

I think so. It should come with your shocks too(It came with my Bilsteins). |
