Yup, I've done it before but it can lead to some squeaking on the trail. No biggie though

Even when putting in a 3/4 daystar spacer it would squeak? And just how thick are those front isolators? Are they 1/2 inch?

Well first off, all I said is that it can squeak on the trail as polyeurathane is a pretty squeaky material compared to rubber. When flexing your Jeep, things move around and at least for me, I have found this to be the case.

As far as the actual thickness of the factory rubber isolators go, they measure 3/4" but are shaped to cup the coils and I think the measure up to 1/2" once compressed.
