This is more along the lines of what I was looking at doing. I've always read that you're supposed to keep the stock isolator in there, so i figure it can't hurt too much by putting in an extra one. Thanks for all the advice guys I'm gonna throw another isolator in there and see how far that gets me. I think I read somewhere that a new one's good for approx 5/8" is that close?

Resurrecting an ancient thread (but hey, it's holy week, a good time for resurrecting)

I have now seen two different schools of thought on whether the coil isolator should stay on top of the bb spacer or go between it and the coil.

I have one coming to match up with my junkyard rear lift, and want to know which one to do.

Original spot, or below the coil, or ditch it altogether?

(I hope this isn't going to cause any trouble)
