Thanks so much! Take a look at the pics I just posted. If I need to send more detail, please let me know.

Assuming I measured correctly, it looks to be stock?

Is that a spacer on top of the coil? Look on their website at the 1.75" and 2.5" spacer lifts. If it's the 2.5", it should be pretty easy to compare the components to what you have.

Looks like the factory isolator to me. And based on the measurement, hard to believe the coil sag is that bad.

After comparing what is there to photos of an isolator and/or spacer, it looks more like an isolator. Given that it is the isolator, should I be concerned about the coil sag?

It looks like an isolator as 2M4 stated below. I just want to replace the back shocks. Can I do that without replacing the front too?

Call them, or PM their forum rep. From past posts, they seem pretty good about replacing anything that fails.

Looks like a spacer above the factory isolator to me.
