Coil Spring Insulators?

[SalmonTheDog]

I'm not sure if this is more suited for a post in the vendor section.

I recently put some Thuren springs on my truck.

They are fantastic, and I am thrilled with them.

The insulators were not in the best shape but were okay for now.

So, when I finished the job, the front lift wasn't able to fully extend to achieve the 2 3/4".

This is because of my Bumper, which is 330 lbs.

Road Armor makes excellent bumpers, but they are heavy. I'm not complaining.

What i am looking for or asking is if anyone has replaced the insulators with the Daystar leveling spacers in this scenario.

Would it be too much? I dont want my front end to be pointing up towards the sky.

I do want to sit honestly level, though.

Am I better served to get the Mopar insulators?

They are 90+ a pop from the dealership.

Online, it's a bit cheaper.

Sorry for the delay!

Thank you for the tag : )

The springs are not designed to work with a spacer lift.

Will it work?

I'm sure it would, but it's not the proper way, and I would not personally do it.

What we always do is replace it with the actual Mopar isolators.

Although expensive, they are needed, and the springs are designed to work with the oem isolators.

I highly highly recommend doing it the right way : )

Thuren does recommend an updated OEM insulator.

Below is an excerpt from the installation instructions.

If your truck is not already equipped, we recommend replacing your isolator (Mopar Part No 05168566AB) with the improved isolator (Mopar Part No 68268825AA).

The “AA” version has a better contact patch and is made of a harder durometer material.

This is not mandatory, but a nice upgrade if applicable.

Great link, by the way, AK Bob!
