These are aluminum.....does the same rule apply to coil spacers that it does to aluminum pinion shims?Will aluminum crack?

Cast Aluminum is prone to cracking. Jeep Coil spacers come in many different thicknesses, you just need to Google.

So the stock isolator is good for 3/4"?
Wonder if google would've turned that up?

Rusty's has .75 and 1.75". I have the .75 ones on my Jeep replacing the busted stock isolators(same size). Nicely made, look fine after years of use.

So if I buy a 2" spacer,take the stock isolator(-3/4") out and replace it with the 2" spacer I would net around 1.25"?

Newb question:Spacers go on top of the coil correct?I was looking at cheapo's at the parts store and the directions said to install them on the bottom but that seems weird to me.

Every isolator I've seen appears to be 1/2" at the most. I ran Rocky-Road spacers for years, they held up great, decent product, terrible service, never doing business with them again. RE makes spacers, Daystar, Rusty's, etc. Almost everybody who sells lift components or Jeep parts either makes or sells one.

EDIT: Yes, the spacer goes on top of the coil, slide it over the bump stop.

Isolaters are supposed to give you 5/8 of an inch. I have 3 stacked and they give me a little over an inch so they in my application give me about 3/8 inch each. I have a pair of 1.5 spacers that I would sell you for 15 plus shipping in your interested. They are rough country brand and are the hard plastic.
