Re: WTB: lowering springs or oem fronts

Switching the stock rubber spring isolators out for ones made of poly urethane will gain you back some height. Depends really how far you went with the cut..

I really only need about half an inch. You think the stiffer isolators would do the trick?

Cut 1.25 coils, i think it would've been perfect if I wasn't eaton swapped. (More weight) my midpipe hangs a bit low and scrapes a lot if I have a passenger. If I did it over I'd only do 1 coil, but I'm ordering poly utherane isolators hopefully that will be sufficient.

I added poly isolators while I was eaton swapping because of that very reason. Worked out perfectly for me. Kept me right where I was at before.

Especially the new aftermarket ones they sell at AM or LMR. They are polyurethane and don't have as much give as the stock ISO's.

LOL, I see you've done that before.
