Teraflex 1/2" Spacer+guide measurement question
Ok, so I ordered a pair of 1/2" Teraflex Spacers with guides in an effort to solve the problem I have with my rear coils falling out at full droop. I intend to use them in place of the stock isolators. (I'm also installing JKS lower coil retainers to hold the rear springs in place).
Question: how thick should the rubber ring be on the top of a 1/2" TF spacer?
I measured the ones I received, and the ring portion of rubber at the top is actually 1" thick (exactly). Is that correct, and it's designed that way to compensate for compression of the rubber, or did they send me the 1" spacers by mistake?
I just wish TF marked these things somehow... and I'd really hate to end up with front rake again! lol
EDIT: better yet, does anyone know how to get ahold of TF on weekends?

Teraflex spacers are intended to be used WITH the stock spring isolators.
Just installed 1" rear spacers on my brothers Jeep today and it only raised the rear 3/4" when all was done.

Actually, the stock isolators aren't required, and the 1/2" TF Spacer by itself will perform the same function... (the stock isolators are also 1/2").
