This is exactly how I found my plug after tilting the front clip forward:

Geez man, that could had ended badly. Glad you found it. Now that you've cleaned it do they work? Xjdad gonna make a new one for you?

I know stock coil isolators should be .5". Its better to run just a spacer and no isolator? Ill just add .5" to what i want my lift to increase by.

It's closer to .25. The poly ones say you don't have to use the isolator. I ordered mine from fat bobs and it says 1.75 with isolator, 1.5 without. My ride difference without it.

My only complaint about them was that they were a tight fit on the bumpstop tower. I made relief cuts in the bottom and beat them to the too with a rubber mallet. They will never fall out haha

I'm pretty sure the isolator goes on the bottom of the spacer but I'm not sure.
