LOL..I think the terminology had me confused. Just to be clear, the originals go between the spring and the new ones?

so in the pic below the stocker is the donut that fits over the teraflex? If so my assumption is that the stock unit seats very well over the TF? because if not, there may be damage to the stocker when loaded. If I had known this ahead of time I would have purchased the 1 inchers and not reinstalled the originals. To bad the advertising is not so good.

Lol, yeah. In that pic, pick up the stock isolator, drop it on either of the two TF spacers, and push it down all the way.

Then when you have the coil out, turn the spacer over so the pointy end is facing down. TF spacer on top, stock isolator in the middle, coil on the bottom.

excellent. Now here is the really dumb question. What holds the spacer in place to the upper body?

I have a strut compressor on order, which should make this install cake without having to remove or disconnect anything from the suspension, I think.

There is a little button on top of the spacer that will get seated into the frame, you are going to have to lube it and most likely use a a jack to get it to press into the opening. I used 2 small pieces of (2x4) and and just used a floor jack to press in place.
