I just have a quick question for those of you who've installed a budget boost. After installing my RE kit, I came across the instructions and realized i put the stock coil isolator on the wrong side of the poly spacer. Now it appears the soft rubber isolator is squishing out the back under the pressure of the spring. I know it's designed to do this and probably does the same thing stock, but i'm interested to know if you folks think it's worth swapping it back like the instructions say or just leave it alone. Could this cause the rubber to wear prematurely?

 

It's always worth taking the time to do things right.

 

Exactly what i was thinkin, but i've noticed other kits want you to do it the way i did but they might be designed differently. I guess i'll pull it into the garage and swap them around.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation on how to orient the coil spring? Should the coil end be towards the front of the Jeep or the back? I currently have them toward the front. The front springs actually sit in a pocket, but the back could be put on in any direction. It's a possiblity i'm being to picky, but if i'm going to do it again i might as well ask.

 

Align the spring so that it fits in that little notch on the bottom spring perch. Once, you got the bottom set, the top should be fine. The notch is to prevent the spring from rotating.

 

I don't think there is a notch on the rear springs. I could be wrong, though.

 

The front has a notch , but i didn't think there was one in the back. I'm going to tear it back apart today and see.

 

Just finished and no notch in the back. The best i came up with was the ending loop in the coil toward the back. It sits straighter that way. Looks much better and i'll pay more attention to the limited instructions next time.
