I've Frankened, now I notice that the front sits slightly higher than the rear. I've seen posts about using rear isolators to level, but my question is: Upper, or lower isolator? (BTW, I've got about 1200 miles since the lift, so it should have settled. It think.

QuestMan, this thread was just recently about the same question, maybe there is some info in there to help:
http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=20762

I believe upper is the one, but I wonder if one could get away with adding 1 additional to both the top and bottom. Not sure if that would take up too much of the holding area on the bottom spring perch. I need to take a good look, but I've got other stuff going on right now.

Prerunner styling for now... :lol:

I have an extra lower isolator pad and it looked like it would not leave enough room at the bottom for the spring to sit in the perch so I removed it.

What would the difference be between 2 upper isolators or even 3 and say a 2 inch rear spacer?

I got my upper isolator spacers form AllJ's when I bought my Frankenlift. The poly isolators from AllJ's are quite a bit different than the OEM isolators. I think they also give more lift.
