So I ordered the struts and springs which I think are 1.5 lift each also a .5 Clevis spacer


No do I need to buy his spring isolators or do I use my factory ones ..
Also are his strut spacers for strength or more lift

Anything else I missed let me know please and thanks

Ironman springs will give you 2.25" lift or there about. Plus the .5" clevis spacer you will have 3.25" lift. Better be looking at the JBA arms at that point before you go any taller.

Re use your factory isolators

Strut spacer plates go ontop of the coilover assembly and gives extra 1/2".

You use everything that is on your old unit except for the spring and shock. Easy as pie. But id let a shop do it for you.

If you buy new top mounting plates they should come with isolators
so you would only be buying one extra isolator perside for the bottom
Again as suggested allow a shop to compress the springs and put everything together
Ironman coils are very close together for one and the fingers of those cheap compressors do not fit well
