Ok you need to drop the spring out, still not hard to do, can do one side at a time as far as that goes. If you want a couple of tricks I will send you a PM on them :wink:

I am having the same issue with the back sitting lower, it's actually a 1/2" lower when I measured. I havent got around to going to the stealership yet to check on the isolator pads. One thing i was wondering... I took off some pads from the rear when I installed my spacer kit.. Is this pad pretty much exactly what an Isolator pad is? To me it doesn't seem like it would be very sturdy with this pad below the spacer. Will it be okay if i use that pad that I took off? Should I have taken it off?

When I put in my spacer lift I left the OEM lower pad in. Gave me the extra 1/2" and leveled things out. had it like that for over 30k miles, you should be fine doing that.

the pad has a lip around the center of it.. It didnt make any difference? Have you done alot of wheelin in that 30k miles? I was worried about the flexing, if it would allow the spacer and spring to pop off?

I just put two isolators on top and left the one on the bottom, no worries. rides nice and evened out the OMEs 790s I put on the front.

the lip fits inside the spacer, perfect fit. this is not my jeep but this is what it looks like. Also I wouldn't worry about anything falling out, the shock prevents that from happening. Unless you have extra long shocks.

i ordered 4 rear upper iso pads today. $22 a piece. i told the guy they should only be $15 a piece, he didnt believe me :lol:

. oh well... i did a 3 thring clevis awhile ago, and it raised the dang front like an inch. now the jeep looks like a dog with no rear hips. aweful. sick and wrong. gimpus... i tried some of those spring spacer deals from an auto parts store. dont do it, they break crack, fall out, doodoo. and probably stressed my new springs. this site rules... (case u didnt know)

isolator pads?
