Default Do spring isolators have to be used? Trying to level out stance.

I just put on a Rustys 3.25 coil kit, and I am about a half inch to high in the rear. Since I am looking for different options, would it be possible to not run a rubber isolator in the rear, to drop it down some? I have plenty of height, so I dont really want to add 1/2 spacers up front. Any ideas?

you can, but it sometimes tends to transmit vibrations and noise into the chassis....

another option is to stack another pair of isolators on top of the front coils. ZJ owners have been doing that for years... a poor-man's ACOS.

Yes, I was wondering if leaving out that rear isolator would cause some vibration and noise. And yes I have considered adding 1/2 inch spacer up front, but I have gobs of height and wheelwell space right now with this 3.25 Rustys with 35 toyos. I will probably wait another week or so, and let things settle a bit more before deciding on making any changes. thanks

Out of curiosity, do you have the 2 door or 4 door?
Aslo, what do you think of the kit? Does it come with brake line relocation brackets?

4 Door running rustys 3.25 on 35s. The ride is nice, coil and shock wise. But I am not aligned yet, so I have some issues there.

Comes with coils, shocks, both front and rear adjustable track bars, and i got the steering stabilizer with it. It does not come with bumpstops or extended swaybar links. So i will proably add some teraflex links. I would probably add some bumpstops too, if I could find them sold on there own.

Does not come with brakeline bracket, but I could not see any problems with the brake lines, so i think im ok there.

Thanks for the info.
So far, everyone with the 3.25 Rusty kit seem to like it.
