I only used one, but its the silver thing between the spring and the cleavis.

Has anybody tried adding maybe some 1" spacers or spring isolators to a KJ already running a Rusty's coil lift? Mine has relaxed in front some since installing the lift last year and I thought a bit of a spacer lift and maybe a clevis adjustment would give me more clearance and allow for a slightly bigger tire. -JB |

i added 4 conduit washers on each side with a clevis lift, and three spring isolators on each side in the rear. that should bring you back up to new lift height. |

Can you explain what you did with the 4 conduit washers? I am not sure how you used them for the front. What combination of isolators did you use for the rear, upper or lower? My Rusty 2.5" coil lift has really sagged. |

Its a rubber pad that goes under and over the spring to keep it from making noise. Some people double them up to get lift. |

Remove the rear swaybar and the isolators will go in easy, then just leave the swaybar off for more rear flex if you want. |

I have the rustys kit, and a 2.5" puck spacer in the rear... and I am working on a top plate/strut spacer about 1/2" thick, which should give me about 3/4-1" mor in the front... My front measurement to the bottom of the fender flare at the center of the wheel is 36 1/2", and the rear measured the same way is 37 1/2". |
