I used a 10mm TJ trim packer made the inner hole just large enough to fit over the bump stop and placed the upper isolator over the top.

i think people here are using the Upper spring isolator

I'd like to those pics. Will two trim packers possibly work per side or only one?

I would like to get 20mm (3/4") out of it, if I could.

Thanks

Upper isolators. They are about 10 dollars a piece at the delear and give just about 1/2" of lift.

if you look closely you will see some yellow material in the upper spring perch, thats the 10mm packer underneath the upper spring isolator, from flexing it after i fitted it with swaybar attacher there is no way it can come unstuck

also beware of KJ's if they have not been wheeled for a while they will BITE you (see Finger)

That finger sure looks nice!

Those Ranchos let the rear flex alot more than the ome shocks I have. If i ever upgrade thats what ill get.
