Default Coil Spacers installed incorrectly?
I noticed something today about my front leveling spacers. They are installed on top of the spring and then the factory isolators are installed on top of them.

Im pretty sure the factory isolators are supposed to be on top of he spring and then the spacers on top of them, no?

you are correct. the spacer should be sitting on top of the rubber isolator and then the isolator on top of the coil. it's not that big of a deal though that it's on wrong.
