Well installed the set of pro kit springs on my ride and, looks kind of funny. The question i have is, do you guys remove that rubber boot that sits right on top of the rear springs?

 

has anyone done this?

 

I kept my rear insulator and yes my ride height was a little higher than expected. You'll probably have to keep some sort of cushion there so it is not metal to metal (may get noisy)...

 

You just left them like that? Cant you just trim them down?

 

Try removing the rear insulators and replace it with pieces of heater hose cut in half (you'll probably have to tape them on so they will stay in place). I haven't personally tried this myself, but I've seen it suggest a lot on here to try and get the rear just a little lower.

 

Thats a really good idea. I am going to try that.

 

Your springs will need to settle a little bit. Since you just put them in drive it around for a couple of weeks and then check the ride height. They should be lower.

 

I left them like that for now. They may settle a little with time. There's no way to trim the insulators down, they are reinforced with steel.

 

Don’t cut them in half, just cut a slit down one side and slide it over about the last ½ coil, you’ll need about 6-8” for each one.

Works fine, don’t move around… If you take the isolator out you’ll also find that the top of the spring pocket isn’t totally flat, so make sure that you install both springs so that the last coil ends in the same place on both sides (to the back tends to sit a little lower on most cars)
