Coil Spacers/Isolators
Quick question for y'all. When putting on new coil springs, is it advisable or necessary to change the coil spring isolators? And if adding coil spacers, do you use them in addition to the isolators or do the spacers replace the isolators?
Thanks for the help.

You don't HAVE to change them but if they are toast you should and you SHOULD remove them when installing spacers. (tho I run mine with my spacers but I'm a rebel)

I would change them if you have went that far. They generally dry rot on ya if. Heck why remove them if you are adding coil spacers. leave them in.

Removing your isolators, adding the spacers and then reinstalling the Isolators is the recommended method when installing spacers. As already recommended, if your isolators are all dried out and shot, now is the time to replace them.
