RE: Coil spring isolators
From what I have seen of your vehicle in the pics. The rear doesnt look to sit lower. In fact,I am sure it doesnt. In your driveway it looks almost perfect. It seemed it was SLIGHTLY higher in the rear! Maybe only 1/4 to 1/2 higher.
When I measure my stock height. From the center of both the front and rear wheels up to the fender my rear is 2 Inches higher!
As I mentioned, I would like to go about 1.5 front and 2 in the rear! Eibach has a 2/2 kit, but that would still have the drastic rake look.

Thanks, the pictures are in my driveway and it dips down slightly where the front of the truck is. I know there is someone here who did the eibach kit and he told me his rear is a little higher than front. 34 1/4 front and 35 rear is what he said in a previous thread.

Hmmm, You are talking about Gapp I think. He must be measuring different. Like I said from the center of the wheels to the fender stock is 2 inches higher in rear.
So If I put on the Eibach 2/2 kit will the rear still be 2 inches higher?

Hard to say. I went with this kit because of the spindle. Eibach brings springs for both front and back. Overall I'm pretty happy with the kit.

Well, took the truck for a drive and have made up my mind to leave it alone. I parked in different places and its pretty even. My driveway plays tricks on me. I had the same problem when I lowered my cobra. I think that everything inside was designed to be level with the back of the truck sitting higher. Thats why we now have the sensation of the rear being lower when we drive it but its actually even.

RE: Coil spring isolators
There is a mom and pop auto part store here that has little round rubber pads. But they dont have any way of staying in place. I guess they would not go anywhere with the wieght of the truck on them.

Where are you finding the universal ones? Im torn. I parked the truck in my carport which is pretty even and the truck is pretty much level. But if i park anywhere, where the ground is not level the suspension adjusts itself and makes it uneven. I also had a buddy of mine drive the truck and during acceleration the torque made the rear come down some.
What I did do was add some goodyear rubber between the coil and the stock isolator and it seem to raise it about 1/4. I'll let you know if my rear falls off

Yeah, what I did was tape them with electrical tape just so they would stay on during install. The weight of the truck keeps them in place.
