Mine are junk and i figured while i am tearing everything apart to put the DB's in i mine as well put these in too.

I found some poly ones. But i am sure they dont have that metal piece in them like OEM.

then these are the stockers. (poly are a little cheaper, unless you guys know somewhere else)

Id go OEM. Sometimes the poly squeeks when the spring moves. Gets anoying

Howler sends a set with his spacers. I wonder if they are poly or OEM ones. If you read this please post the answer Howler.

Isolators are $5 at most stores. I bought 6 of them from 4wd hardware for $30 and made a 1.5" lift out of it. The downside to oem rubbers is if you off road alot, you stress em out faster and their shape deforms. Poly's stay intact but the downside is the squeak.

not looking forward to putting mine in.
How long do you think you'll spend on putting them in? or do you have other stuff to do along with that

i am doing it all but it doesnt take long for me to pop out coils.

pop the tre off the pitman arm, unhook the shocks, let it droop all the way down and compress the coils just a little bit with the coil compressors.
