Default HELP!!! Coil + .75 Spacer

Today I added .75 coil spacers on top of my Rough Country 2.5 Coils in front. I heard a little tap when driving and looked at it and it looks as if my spring shifted a tad on my Daystar spacer. Is there any problem with this. I used factory isolator, then spacer, then spring since thats how instructions said to do it.

I don't see any problem here. I mean the spring only has so much room to shift until it seats itself into the spacer. But then again we may need a picture to see exactly what is going on.

Most that I have seen is the spacer > factory isolator > then spring.

I thought as well, but Daystars instructions said slide spacer over the factory and it was coned to fit where the Isolator into the Spacer. But not sure if I misunderstood it or its normal.

I seem to remember reading previously that the daystar spacers install "Isolator then Spacer" so I think you did it correctly.

Yes I think so too, Rough Countrys site said the same thing more clearly for the 3-1/4" lift. Guess it really cant sit perfectly level since the spaers are flat and not with angles. Guess it just settled and will be this way, so it'll be good.

Doing the same thing hopefully this week adding a 3/4 inch spacer to a 2 1/2 inch coil spring lift. Directions on mine are spacer, isolater, coil.........mines a skyjacker spacer......teraflex spacer is put on the same way I believe as the skyjacker.

Default Front TRACKBAR?

My drivers side front wheel is shifted a tad out more than passenger. Is a front trackbar needed to correct that? Also do you recommend JKS or another brand. I know JKS if mentioned a lot and if looking at Northridge it shows it being $144 is that correct.
